Taking to prevent stroke. Most blood thinners react with vitamin K. Can I still eat all the leafy green vegetables I like. I eat alot of salads and spinach and broccoli and carrots too. I want to keep eating healthy so can I still eat all of the above veggies.
Do foods high in vitamin K interfear with taking Xarelto? What foods should be avoided?

I take Xarelto and want everyone to know that cranberries can cause terrible bleeds!! I enjoyed leftover cranberry relish after Christmas and experienced a really painful bleed in my knee…..Please stay away from cranberries when on Xarelto!!!

No anti coagulants other then warfarin require you to watch your vitamin K. Others work differently and aren't effected by vit k. There is no restriction on what you eat with the new ones.
