Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry to hear about your mother.

If she had a recent embolism, then she should receive injectable low molecular weight heparin for at least 6 weeks, if not more. Did she receive any such injection, like enoxaparin or dalteparin?

Otherwise I dont think there is any specific diet for use with acitrom. Sometimes it causes GI upset. she should eat whatever she can tolerate.

I suggest her to take bland, light food that are easily digestible, more of liquid and Semi solid diet.
Also continue the advise of dietician.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available for your further queries if any.

Regards,

Hello and thanks again,

It is difficult to avoid all vitamin K containing foods.

Avoid drastic changes in dietary habits, such as eating large amounts of XXXXXXX leafy vegetables. She should also avoid intake of cranberry juice or any other cranberrry products.

She should take her medicines 1-2 hrs before meal.

Since I am not a dietician, I cannot help you formulate a diet plan according to her needs. However those are few recommendations which she may need.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing for the best.

Best Regards

Dr. Indranil

Hello again,

Here are some suggestions:

Avoid sudden changes in your diet.

Large amounts of vitamin K are found in foods such as liver, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach, Swiss chard, coriander, collards, cabbage, and other XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.

Avoid eating cranberries, drinking cranberry juice, or taking cranberry herbal products.

The issue with leafy greens is not to avoid them altogether, however. You can still consume them in small amounts.

Single servings or less, such as 3 brusselt sprouts, 1/3 cup serving of XXXXXXX Greens per day, a hand-full of spinach a day, etc.

Another thing to consider is to not eat more than one vitamin K enriched food per day. If you eat spinach, don't eat XXXXXXX or the rest. If you eat asparagus, don't eat spinach or the rest. One portion of one vitamin K XXXXXXX food is safe.

The foods listed below are known to have higher amounts of vitamin K per serving. Although it is important to be aware of foods high in vitamin K, it is also important that you eat a well-balanced diet.
XXXXXXX leafy vegetables

Spinach; kale; collard, mustard and turnip greens; endive, lettuce (Boston, bib, head, red leaf and romaine)

Cruciferous vegetables
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, asparagus
Other vegetables

Frozen peas, okra

Certain foods like celery, clove, garlic, ginger, and parsley are usually safer if they are used in small amounts in cooking or as a seasoning. They should not be used in the form of a supplement.

Hope my suggestions will help you.

Regards,
