Actually 1/2 cup oatmeal has 13 mcg of Vitamin K. In comparison 1/2 c cooked spinach has 342 mcg.

Thank you guys , Thanks p_rn I like that link . I had never heard of an interaction but was told my a pt's family he cant have oatmeal because he is on coumadin . Keeping in mind that this is the only thing the man will eat ! And he is losing weight . I had always been taught to tell pt to maintain their normal diet and the coumadin will be adjusted to their diet . Thanks again for the help ! :rotfl:
