Thank you. I've been taking coumadin now for nearly nine years. I didn't
know any of that.

Now, back to the question. Just out of curiosity, and since I have a blog
and a book that covers this very topic, does anyone have anything relevant
to add regarding their own limitations.

And yes, people who are on coumadin CAN eat anything. It's just that they
risk spontaneous hemorrhaging. It's that simple.
