sauerkraut + warfarin
Sauerkraut is fermented green cabbage and is a moderate source of vitamin K1, the nutrient that warfarin works against. Because vitamin K supplies the cofactor for the very clotting factors warfarin blocks, suddenly starting, stopping, or swinging your sauerkraut intake can shift your INR and loosen anticoagulation control. The goal on warfarin is consistent intake, not avoidance.

kimchi + warfarin
Kimchi is fermented Napa cabbage and contains vitamin K1, the cofactor warfarin works against. Inconsistent kimchi intake can shift your INR and change warfarin's effect. The problem is not the food but the swings in how much you eat.
