TIA & coumadin

my mom has cardio myopthopy, CHF & diabetes she also has had her mitro valve replaced, well last week she had her first  T I A.. and they said it was from her blood being to thick so they sent her home with a shots to take in the stomach to help boost her blood to start thinning out. well after 6 shot from Friday night to sunday night it and only changed by 1 point my question... any suggestions on what foods she may need to eat to help keep her blood thin ?

Thank you
worried daughter

Perhaps it's food she shouldn't be eating - those with high vitamin K content like Kale, spinach, the leafy green vegetables in general. I've read that people on blood thinners need to avoid those foods because it interferes with the effect of the blood thinners.

Garlic is a natural blood thinner.  Aside from staying away from spinich, cabbage, green leafy vegetables, try putting some garlic on her food.
