My son is 21years old now and have been eating peanuts, soya bean drinks and other food supposedly forbidden for g6pd. will all this effect him later?

Yes, Risk Remains: G6PD Deficiency; genetic disorder; a key enzyme is lacking causing red blood cell destruction, anemia, jaundice, & more. Symptoms are triggered by: foods (fava beans, ascorbic acid, soy), drugs (Sulfa), other (infections, moth balls, henna). The mild form is commonest & may produce no symptoms, even after exposure to triggers. However avoiding triggers is recommended because potential risk remains
