stuff that raises INR

[baradonai]

If our numbers are high, we can eat some greens and help lower our INR.

If you wanted to help bump up your INR with something else, (I've seen alcohol) is there anything else we can eat/drink/take to accomplish this?

Many of us keep V8 in our fridge or cupboard for those times where our INR is a little higher than we feel comfortable with, because it is fairly high in K. Having a big spinach salad. Having a protein bar that has K listed.

I don't know of anything that will raise the INR faster. It always seems much much harder to raise a low INR than to lower a high one.

Do a google search for "Coumadin interactions" and you'll find a bunch of sites with drug/herb/and food interactions. I'd caution you to not try to keep in range with these interacting items as most have unknown half lives and unknown effects per amount consumed.
