Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
G6PD deficiency is a cause of hemolytic anemia. There is no treatment. You should avoid certain drugs like primaquine, chloroquine, dapson etc. No diet restrictions are there. List of drugs are available online.
Just avoid that drugs.
