Can a 1 yr old drink fresh milk? a g6pd child..thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The natural sugar in (lactose)milk can trigger problems in a G6PD kid.Half of that sugar is galactose which a G6PD kid cannot metabolize and will lead to tissue injury and susceptibility to permanent damage. The kid needs to avoid any human and animal milk product for life.You need to read all food labels and make sure there is no accidental exposure from prepared /packaged foods.
