    So glad to not have to worry about the foods that I eat - especially greens. I'm told that I can eat whatever I want including spinach, lettuce, & such. I've had not problems on pradaxa.

    I started taking Pradaxa after ablation procedure. Have been taking it for two months Have experienced heartburn if I eat spicy or highly seasoned foods. Have used chewing gum (Juicy Fruit) after I eat and the heartburn disappears. Love this medication!!!
