Hi Jeff,
Today, I was looking up info on the web about vit., supplements, foods, etc that cause blood thinning. For the past couple years, before and now after my gallbladder removal, I've been plagued with recurrent bloodshot eyes, nosebleeds, easy bruising and also low vit. D levels, even when on supplements.
What I found was that I had been, and am continuing to have an absorption issue of the fat soluble vits., including K--hence the blood being too thin. I knew that gallbladder problems can show up with low D, but no one told me to watch out for this absorption problem.
So I found out what foods to eat to help get and keep my vits. D&K, and what to avoid that could overly thin the blood.
My question leads to what branch of study would know about this? My doc didn't tell me, and I had a heck of a hard time finding out about it on the web. Who would be the best trained in this type issue?--doctors, pharmacists, or registered dieticians?
I'm mad that these type issues go unknown to patients, and I'd like to study to rectify that.
Thanks,
Gwen
