Does Warfarin Interact With Slippery Elm?
I take warfarin - is it safe to also take slippery elm if I separate them by time? For instance take the slippery elm at noon and the warfarin before I go to bed at 11 pm. I have found, in the past, that slippery elm truly helps with my stomach pain and I ve heard it helps ward off adhesions, which I have had in the past from several stomach surgeries. Thank you!

slippery elm does have benefits.
therefore keep a gap of 3-4 hrs between the doses of warfarin and slippery elm.
