When you take warfarin, it is best taken on an empty stomach to speed up the absorption rate. Foods high in vitamin K can counteract the effects of warfarin. Foods that are high in vitamin K include: spinach and green leafy vegetables, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Yes, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to eat pizza while on Coumadin. There are some foods you should avoid or minimize in your diet because they reduce the effectiveness of the drug (reduction of anticoagulant factor). These are foods high in vitamin K such as tomatoes and egg yolks and leafy green vegetables such as: kale, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, chard, as well as brussles sprouts and green tea. You might also want to limit beverages such as cranberry juice and alcohol that increase the anticoagulant action of the medication.
Watermelon has a diuretic action , as it is almost all water. Warfarin is to thin your blood. I see no problem, but call any pharmacist to make sure.
can you detox while on coumadi
Lettuce has Vitamin K. Those on coumadin should be careful with foods that contain high doses of vitamin k. This doesn't mean you can't eat lettuce. You can, but if you suddenly start eating tons of lettuce everyday your coumadin levels will need to be checked and maybe your dose altered.
The anticoagulant effects of coumadin may be decreased if taken with foods rich in vitamin K. Vitamin E may increase warfarin effect. Cranberry juice may increase warfarin effect, but pineapple has no effect on coumadin.
