Warfarin & Dukan

Hi

Does anyone on dukan taken warfarin?

I take it and eating primarily protein is playing havoc with blood.

Just wondered how it's affecting others

Thanks x

Hi hun, don't know if you got any other answers from anyone elsewhere. My hubbie is on Warfarin and it never occured to me that he would have problems if he followed Dukan, he did want to do it to try but am thinking now its not a good idea.

Have you eaten enough of the right types of veg on PV days to try and help balance it out.

Hope you get yourself sorted x

Hi.

My INR is very unstable anyway, food and drink really effect me. Not drinking any alcohol and not having veg for 6 days made it drop very low (probably should have been hospitalised) but I'm a dab hand at injections so convinced the doc to not send me!

I think the alternate days of PP & PV are the problem and I'm eating so little veg compared to before.

My warfarin dose is also very high as I've had blood clots in my lungs and legs, so have to have high INR

Wish him luck and just get him checked regularly.

Xx

Thanks Hun
He's actually not following it now, he hadn't started with me doing diet, only cutting down in other areas. Told him last night about your problems and he said oh, well not good then.

he had multiple PEs in both lungs, admitted emergency last Sept to hosp, and is still suffering pains. He has managed to keep stable enough to only need to go every 12 weeks now, though the last appt was the first 12 one and he forgot to go so he's due again this week I think. Managing to maintain at 2.4 I think.

Maybe on PV days you'll have to eat enough for two days LOL, I know its no joke, its worrying for you, I hope you do manage to keep it settled.

I think this is serious stuff and you should be very careful, how about maybe doing just PV's ? with one PP /week? it might mean slower losses but might be safer. I dont know enough about it to advise xx

Thank you. I've now been switched on to injections so the less I weigh the more effective they are! I'm a bit scared of having mainly PV as I think i'll be lead astray more easily.

Aw hun, is it worth talking to the doc and showing him the book. It could be that he has already heard about Dukan but at least you will have checked.

PV sounds good, if 6/1 sounds too much, maybe 5/2, putting the PP in the middle somewhere, at least you know you will be getting your greens as it were...mixed with reds!

Oh course you will have to avoid ginger in a lot of the recipes too but I guess you know all about that, please be careful and talk to someone.
