I have been using your web site information since going on Coumadin (warfarin) about a year ago. It's been very helpful to me and my wife for adjusting my diet to this medication that I will be on for the rest of my life (artificial heart valve).
I read on one of your replies about parsley being in certain dishes and not combining too many in one day. That made me wonder: how much parsley is in pizza sauce? Is it bad to have 3 slices of pizza for dinner? Should I be more wary about my weekend treat of pizza?
This is a really tough question. If there's parsley listed in the ingredients in your tomato or pizza sauce, it could contain a fair amount of Vitamin K.
Your best choice is to make your own tomato sauce and not use any parsley. For convenience you can look for a tomato sauce that doesn't have herbs in the ingredient list.
