Q: Can those on Coumadin (warfarin) eat eggs or Eggbeaters?I take warfarin every day due to a left leg DVT. I follow my doctor's instructions: no green veggies, etc. Can I safely substitute eggs for Eggbeaters and how often can I eat this product? Q: Dr. Gourmet Says...Eggs are not a problem for users of Coumadin® (warfarin). They have no Vitamin K and should not interact with your medication. Likewise, the USDA database reports that there is essentially no Vitamin K in liquid egg substitute like Egg Beaters. Both of these should be safe. Eggs are good for you and eating them a few times a week is OK. Here's some links to info on eggs:
Thanks for writing, Dr. Gourmet
