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 Hello Ross,
