The two factors I have for clots are prothombin and lupus anticoagulant
Lupus anticoagulant antibodies cause an increase in blood clotting.
The prothrombin mutation can triple the risk of forming blood clots.

According to my results that's if you're on coumadin, which you are.  For those of us not on it it says normal is 0.9-1.1, and I'm 1.2.  My prothombin time was a little high, too -- it says normal is 9.0-11.5 seconds and I'm 12.3.  I'm guessing that's the fish oil -- I take a lot because I take it partly for emotional help, which it probably isn't doing anything for, and those effects called for pretty high doses, and because I take Celexa, which can cause bleeding in some people, though it's usually minor.  Drugs are toxic, man. But the doctor's comment was it's not of concern.  He has swum this lap before, I guess.

Thanks -- Just got my INR back -- a little high, but apparently not of concern.

It can raise your INR level and that can cause clotting.

Why?  Does it have to do with the blood thinner?  I've never taken it myself, but sold a lot of it when I managed health food stores.  It's great for keeping fats from becoming "sticky" and aids in keeping them moving.  And I forgot to add dandelion root as a good liver herb for digestion.  But the best is artichoke, which helps the process by which the liver and the gallbladder interact to handle fats.  Or at least that's the theory.  As to lecithin, by far the best quality is in raw egg yolks, and that's destroyed by cooking, but you have to have the courage to eat raw eggs!

While lecithin is a good emulsifier of fats, you won't get much by eating processed soy products, and none in cooked eggs (it's only in raw egg yokes, which are dangerous to eat).  If you really have a need for lecithin, buy it from your local health foods store as lecithin.  Here's the thing -- the liver's job is to process fat, along with its other functions of protecting you from fat soluble toxins.  If you've got a liver problem, digesting fat will be a problem.  People with this problem will usually be put on fat-digesting enzymes to help, but the main thing is you need to find out if you have a liver problem.  Because if it's not a liver problem, you're just eating foods your body doesn't do well on and a simple change of diet can work wonders.  And while aloe is a great laxative in whole herb form, taking laxatives is not healthy except for short term constipation.  Aloe vera juice, on the other hand, is more helpful for digestive problems, as it helps repair and coat the mucosal lining of the digestive tract and balances acidity.  As for the herbs mentioned above as being good for the liver, different herbs do different things and the availability of herbs has to be taken into consideration.  For digestion problems, the better liver herbs are artichoke, turmeric, ginger, burdock and yellowdock, and there are many formulas that help support the liver.  But milk thistle is more for cleansing the liver and shouldn't be taken for long periods of time.  Using herbs isn't simple, so if you go that route you need to consult someone who knows how to use them and which ones are readily available.  But your first step, at least how you've described it, is to see a doctor and see if you have liver problems.

I forgot to add,

The liver requires high amounts of vitamins and minerals. Your diet should be high in fruits and vegetables and fibrer-rich foods.
Your liver must filter food additives.  Eliminate processed foods, artificial food additives, colors, and preservatives from your diet to give your liver a break.
Eat plenty of fresh carrots and beets, both of which are powerful liver cleansing and rebuilding foods.  In addition, eat plenty of green foods.  The chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, helps cleanse the liver.
Try to eat two heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseeds.  They bind to hormone receptor sites, preventing excess hormones including synthetic xenoestrogens from plastics and other chemicals, from floating around your bloodstream.  One of the liver’s five hundred jobs is to filter excess hormones.  By eating flaxseeds and flax oil you are helping it function more effectively.  Flaxseeds can be sprinkled on cereal, toast, salads, or blended into smoothies.
There are many great herbs that help strengthen the liver, including: milk thistle, dandelion root, globe artichoke, turmeric, slippery elm, greater celandine, balmony, barberry, black root, blue flag, boldo, fringetree bark, vervain, and wahoo.  I regularly use turmeric!  
Reduce refined sugar and avoid synthetic sweeteners altogether.
Lecithin helps the liver metabolize fats and reduce cholesterol.  It contains a substance called phosphatidylcholine and essential fatty acids that help keep liver cells healthy and help prevent fatty deposits from building up in the liver.  Lecithin also helps reduce high blood pressure by allowing the blood vessels to relax to allow better blood flow. You can get lecithin in organic soyfoods like soy milk, tofu, and miso, as well as organic eggs.   or take 4000 mg of lecithin in capsule form daily.
Take a high quality multivitamin and mineral supplement to avoid any deficiencies.  The liver depends on many nutrients to detoxify properly.  Even a single nutrient deficiency can be harmful.
In addition, take 1000 to 2000 mg of vitamin C daily, even if there is vitamin C in your multivitamin.
Eat lots of garlic, onions and broccoli, these foods contain sulfur that is required to increase enzyme activity that boosts  liver cleansing.
Avoid eating large meals.  Instead, eat small meals made up of plenty easy-to-digest foods.
Eat steamed vegetables, raw salad greens, raw fruits, and bitter greens.  The bitter greens, especially, help to cleanse the liver.
Eat whole, raw, unsalted nuts and seeds for their essential fatty acids as well as their usable protein.
Avoid eating heavy, fatty foods since they just create more work for the liver. Avoid margarine, shortening or commercial oils or any foods made with them.
Avoid eating for at least three hours before bedtime to allow the liver adequate time during the night to perform its many functions.

Do you have Gallstones? Have you gone to a gastroenterologist?

Gallstones form in your gallbladder, a small organ near your stomach and pancreas that stores and then releases bile synthesized by your liver. Cholesterol from food you eat enters the liver, where it binds with compounds in bile. This bile passes into the gallbladder, which stores it until you eat foods with fat. The gallbladder secretes the bile into your stomach, allowing salt compounds in the bile to dissolve the dietary fat. While the bile is stored in your gallbladder, cholesterol and pigment from the bile can harden into stones. These stones may accumulate in your gallbladder or lodge in ducts, your pancreas or your lower intestines. When this occurs, areas surrounding the stones become infected and inflamed and you feel sick.

The answe to your question is pretty complicated. Do you have my underlying conditions like IBS, GERD, Chrons?

Your liver is your bodies gatekeeper for all the nutrients and other things you swallow. Your digestive system secretes many things into that mix that your liver, if inflamed, would turn a sour face to. One of those things are excess lipids (fatty chemicals). Most likely I imagine the digestion in your small intestine is producing offgas which gives you the sensation of a sudden and sharp burn beneath your breastplate, and thoughtful your lower abdomen. There are several things to try. DRINK 64oz OF WATER EVERYDAY. First and foremost, and I cannot stress this enough, stay hydrated. You might want to try to eat whole foods with natural fiber. Apples, surprisingly work wonderfully for fiber. Also, you get a wonderful sugar kick :-). Try some probiotic, yogurt or cultured probiotic with a high bacteria count (they'll stay refrigerated) an hour before you eat.

There are many things you can do to have better digestive health. Don't make your liver work hard to transfer what you digest into your system.

Aloe Vera is a wonderful laxative.

Green Tea stimulates bowel motility - it can get things moving.

The #1 best thing you can do for you digestive system is moderate excessive to bring your heart rate above resting for at least 30 min a day. For real. If you're not moving neither are your guts!
