A son with G6PD

Hello there! I am a mother of a beautiful baby boy who I have just found out has G6PD. Is there any precautions for any food or ingredients that I should stay away from? I’ve done my research, but it has left me more confused for there are different articles that says I can have soya some say that I can’t. Not o my soya but a lot more too.

Aiyoh, I know how confusing it can be, G6PD can be scary when you first find out! The thing is, trigger foods really vary depending on how severe your son's condition is, so please sit down with his paediatrician or a specialist to get a proper list for YOUR son specifically , they'll know his levels and can give you the exact do's and don'ts (including about the soya confusion!). A few of us mum friends with G6PD kids have found that once the doctor gives us the clear list, it's actually not as restrictive as the internet makes it seem, mas-mas articles out there are general and don't account for each child's severity. Don't stress too much; just get that professional guidance and you'll know exactly what to avoid and what's safe. You're doing great by researching already!
