Hi,

The most important thing in taking Coumadin is to have a fixed diet. It does not mean you cannot have greens or salads at all but you have to know the amount you have daily and keep it constant. It is the same with other food that interact with warfarin such as garlic and ginger, which increase the INR. When you have a constant diet, the doctor adjusts your medication according to your diet.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
