How can we help: A significant percentage of people from numerous ethnic backgrounds are affected by g6pd deficiency. These patients need to avoid oxidant stress that can arise from lots of sources, including drugs (like bactrim) and foods (fava beans classically-why we also call it "favism"). Since this is new to you, here is a website where you can find some great info....www.g6pd.org.
