Question 4

food for g6pd babies?

Accepted Answer

Normal diet: Ten percent or more of men in some demographics have some g6pd deficiency. Seldom causes much trouble. Depending on the severity of the allele, your physician might suggest a few foods to avoid. Fava beans have historically been the worst troublers. You'll find long lists of "forbidden foods" online and i'd urge you to ignore these and get accurate, no-fear-mongering advice from his physician.

Question 6

is tikitiki good for g6pd deficient?

Accepted Answer

Would not recommend: In trying to determine what is in "tiki-tiki", I have run across a number of g6pd forums asking a similar question and the consensus is not safe for g6pd. I do not know why you want to take tiki-tiki (or give tiki-tiki to your child), but i would say the risk/benefit ratio favors staying away from it if you have g6pd. A hemolytic crisis is not worth it. Find something else instead of tiki-tiki.

Question 10

what is good toothpaste for 2 1/2 yrs.old with g6pd problem?

Accepted Answer

G6pd and toothpaste: In general a 2.5 yr old does not need to use any tooth paste.  It is the mechanical friction of the bristles on the teeth which cleans the teeth.  Even more important is the diet, no really sticky foods, honey,chocolate, etc.  The chemicals that "set off" an episode in someone with G6PD are: "sulfa" antibiotics and certain antimalarials, fava beans, and moth balls.
