Are there parents of a G6PD deficient child here? Or do you have relatives that are G6PD deficient? G6PD deficiency is a condition in the blood that makes a child or a person allergic to fava beans (soya and soy products), legumes, some vegetables and medicines The extreme allergic reaction could lead to death. My two year old son, is actually G6PD deficient. Though, we try to avoid giving him all the stuff listed in the prohibited food and drugs and chemicals to him, there is just no substitute available (in our place) to some cooking ingredients like soy sauce. Luckily he never showed signs of allergic reaction. He is very healthy and active and shows signs of high intelligence, Not to mention, he is a very sweet kid too. I'm just wondering if there are parents of G6PD deficient children here as well... maybe we could share to each other how we could raise our children like any other kids while avoiding the items in the prohibited list. Hope to hear from you.
