Hi, Warfarin is unlikely to cause large bowel thinning. Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) commonly prescribed to treat and prevent clot formation such as in deep vein thrombosis. Its common side effects include bleeding, necrosis of the subcutaneous fat, and a number of Chat Doctor.  Based on the history you seem to have bleeding from the large bowel apparently caused by warfarin. I advise you to consult your treating to adjust the dose of warfarin to prevent bleeding from the bowel. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
