Hi,

Your concern is absolutely right. There is list of food which should be avoid in G6PD deficiency. The good thing is even if he eats any avoided food item, reaction or response will be not be toxic, severe or dangerous. You will have enough time to take him to the hospital. But again precaution is better than cure. Education is the best way to avoid such things. Educate yourself as a parents and once your baby will be intelligent enough to understand you should start teaching. Make sure you notify this problem in his school forms too.

Wishing your son a healthy life.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
