###Human: Is it advisable for TIA patient to take turmeric and blood thinning medications? ###Assistant: Hi. I would like to bring into your notice that he should avoid turmeric as well as Fenugreek seeds in diet, as they have blood thinning potential. However, the potential is low, but can get aggravated by blood thinner medicines. As far as diet is concerned, he should completely avoid fast food, oil, alcohol, and smoking. A regular walk should be done, but make sure it is not done during cold seasons. I do not recommend any supplements. You may ask your doctor to add Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D to his prescription. Make sure he takes his medications regularly and get his check-ups done regularly.
