Are there ways that university foodservice staff could assist an individual such as this to avoid large portions of vitamin K-rich foods?
Should these measures be voluntary or mandatory in the college setting?
The university foodservice staff can assist a student with Factor V Leiden thrombophilia by providing a daily supply of at least 2 fruits and vegetables with low vitamin K and a variety of recipe options for meat, milk, eggs, and cereals, or at least the availability of these products on a daily basis.
I think the university foodservice should not be mandated to offer such foods for a student with Factor V Leiden thrombophilia; however, it is more than feasible and inexpensive for them to do so.
