Is Soy Lecithin In Food Bad For Infants With G6PD Deficiencies?
I want to give my baby a lactose free milk since his poo is still not solid until now... But most Lactose Free milk contains soybean oil or soy lecithin. So I want to know if soy lecithin in baby foods and milk is also bad for babies with G6PD Deficiencies? Thank you

Hello
G6PD deficiency can be precipitated by various food materials and medication. A g6pd deficient person should avoid all these items. Soy lecithin also decreases g6pd levels.
So I would suggest you to avoid the soy food and make a list of items to be avoided with the help of your pediatrician.
