Aspirin therapy: Any foods or supplements that interfere with clotting process may increase risk of bleeding: ginko, garlic, ginger, ginseng, (real) licorice, red chili peppers, oil of wintergreen, vitamin e (high dose), fish oil, chondroitin, glucosamine. Foods high in vitamin k, however, will decrease bleeding but can increase risk of clots http://www.Healthaliciousness.Com/articles/food-sources-of-vitamin-k.Php.
