This is a group for anyone who has Factor V Leiden, a clotting disorder. Or people who know someone with this condition.
Hi Everyone: Are there any foods that I should limit or avoid with factor v leiden. I'm heterozygous. Please let me know. Sincerely, Judy

Hi Judy - It really does not matter what you eat. However, if you are on warfarin (Coumadin generic) it does. Warfarin works by depleting you of vitamin K. If you eat alot of green leafy vegetables (high in "K") this will have an effect on the effectiveness of the drug, causing a higher dosage to be required. In this case you just need to eat the same amount of these vegetables all the time, so you can stablize your dosage. Hope this helps.- Randy

Whatever you want to eat. 5% of the population are heterozygous for FVL.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
