Welcome to Connect, @steveutnv Having a condition such as thrombocytopenia, where you have a low platelet count that interferes with proper clotting, it’s important to avoid foods and supplements which might further enhance this problem.

This article from Healthgrades.com explores 8 Things That Can Increase Your Blood Platelet Count. Below is an excerpt from the article and a link to the entire article for you:

Another article, from verywellhealth.com highlights the beneficial foods and supplements for your condition and also foods to avoid.
