Do any of you have G6PD deficiency as well as your little ones? Can share what are the common trigger foods/drugs that you guys avoid and some symptoms that you have experienced?

Apart from what Erika mentioned, they may also experience backaches and jaundice immediately after birth. I found an article which is very comprehensive: http://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/en/healthaz/conditionsanddiseases/geneticdisorders/pages/g6pd-deficiency.aspx Good to have for reference!

My friend has this. She avoids legumes (fava beans, kidney beans, soybeans, lima beans); large amounts of vitamin C; mentholated food. Symptoms are: rapid heart rate, yellowing skin, fast breathing, urine that is dark, enlarged spleen and spike in body temp.

thanks
