What Causes Diarrhea And Stomach Cramps After Taking Warfarin?

I'm a 65 y/o female who is being followed for lymphoma. I was put on Warfarin since I have a Mediport. Since taking the Warfarin I have had diarrhea and stomach cramps. I recently was hospitalized with colitis for 4 days. I also have some other peculiar symptoms. One doctor says I have oral thrush. My oncologist, my ENT and my pulmonologist say I don't have thrush. They all agree something is going on in my mouth but I haven't been given a definitive diagnosis. I have a lot of postnasal drip, the roof of my mouth and my tongue burn whenever I eat certain foods or drink cola, etc. I have excessive bubbly saliva. I cannot smell, once in a while I get a whiff of something. I also cannot taste. I had a thyroidectomy 3 years ago. I also have type II diabetes and high blood pressure. Is it possible I'm allergic to Warfarin, I haven't been given a cause for the colitis.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I had gone through the history given here and I could say that it seems to be multiple pathological conditions you are having, but stomatitis could be the matter of concern, as long as the oral symptoms are concern it could be due to stomatitis, ideally dental condition need to be first rule out, then comes the stomatitis, so it is advisable to see the dentist, and for the stomatitis salicylic acid as a oral application can be tried hope this information helps.
