Hello Ross,
Yes, grapefruit and Coumadin are digested the same way. That means that in effect, your dose of Coumadin would change when eating grapefruit. Since you will be on Coumadin for just a short time, which is neither cranberry nor grapefruit season, you may want to skip these foods for the time being. However, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, though, because they help treat the heart and blood vessel problems for which people take Coumadin.
My best,
Ingrid

Dear Ingrid,
Greetings.
What is the best thing(s) to eat while on coumdadine during the menstrual cycle? Well, actually, what are the best bings to eat on coumadine - and what are forbidden? OH! I have THE worst eating habits in the world. whenever/whatever. (I am very lazy!) BUT, I love gourmet, savory foods. And I do LOVE to cook (and learn). I could stand to lose weight (hubby too!) But not main goal. Health is.
Cheers,
45 and freaking out!
