My GP suggested I try the clever guts diet as she said “it can’t do any harm” and suggested using fermented foods including sauerkraut.

I am concerned about the amount of salt and the amount of vitamin K. I have to have a low salt and low vitamin K diet. Can I wash the salt from the sauerkraut? I think one portion of commercial sauerkraut (not available at the moment of course) contains more than my day’s salt ration in a single portion of sauerkraut. How much vit K survives the fermenting? Vit K will mess with my INR and I can’t get the regular blood tests at the moment 🙁

A low sodium diet is an eating plan that individuals can follow to diminish the measure of sodium in their eating routine. Specialists may prescribe a low sodium diet to assist with dealing with certain ailments, for example, hypertension and kidney or liver sickness.

I am very well aware of why I need a low sodium / high potassium / controlled vitamin K diet.

My question was very specific as to washing sauerkraut and how fermentation affects vitamin K. As it happens I have had a telephone conversation with both endocrine and haematology involved and fermented foods such as Sauerkraut are a resounding “no, never” for me.
