PKD DIET

Woodruff

Avoid woodruff

(Galium odoratum)

Sweet Woodruff, Galium odoratum, also known as Asperula odorata, is detrimental to PKD/PLD and to be avoided. Woodruff is an anticoagulant and may cause bleeding tendencies. It can severely affect blood coagulation especially when unknowingly combined with an anti-coagulation drug such as Coumadin. A number of medicinal herbs contain coumarin, salicylate, or other platelet-inhibiting substances that can increase the risk of interoperative and postoperative bleeding. If you use woodruff put it aside two weeks prior to any surgery.

We are  sharing our experiences with PKD/PLD Diet, an adjunct diet envisioning it complementing a physician's prescribed medical therapy. Consider testing this with your doctor's prior knowledge, who can  adjust it according to your own uniqueness by adding it to your current  treatment.
