For girls who have this G6PD, they are just carrier... those moth ball and kacang parang stuff is not so much risk to their life.

But if is G6PD boy, then those forbidden stuff is life threatening.

My boy is G6PD too... that could also proven that myself is a carrier and that is why it inherit to him.
No need to be over panic about this. Just be alert.. keep those kacang parang away and dun use any moth ball. Regardless is 1 pc or big amount... I dun think you wanna risk your baby boy on this. Besides that, dun consume any chinese medication.
Have check with paed, he said... not all chinese herbs or medication will post risk to G6PD kid... but as we know there is too many kind of chinese herbs, and we dunno all of them... better dun risk taking it.
Paed also warn me not to take any "soh hup" pill and "wu gam" pill .. those chinese pills for post-natal.. coz we do breastfeed.. is dangerous. But I already taken it.. (just 1-2 times only.. coz my MIL dun buy more for me as she say it pricey.. )... and lucky nothing happen to my boy.

My MIL still keeping moth ball at her home even we ask them to throw all away.. .she still buy new for use
We visited her house once a mth.. so far.. god bless.. my boy is ok. But I will have to warn my boy (now 4yrs) to stay away from those moth ball. I guess educate my boy to stay away is rather easier than educate my MIL to stop using moth ball.. Hai...

I am 30 and have G6PD try to avoid some Chinese medicine and 'chan tau' beans.

My last check long time dr says G6PD already done. But some drs told ms G6PD won't go off. Anyway I've no problem with all the beans and Chinese herbs

Err so far I am fine no problem with all the said food.

However will still tell Dr I've G6PD for safety

im 28 and got G6pd since baby..
did your doctor give you a list that item/food to avoid?
if no, send ur email add to me, so i can send i copy to u

I am 17 yrs old girl with G6PD too.My parents asked me to avoid kacang parang, moth ball/napthalene,chinese herbs etc. 
They told me before that this disease normally boys will have it.Isit true?

I was born with G6PD too but it went disappeared after I became an adult. Went for blood test twice and the doctor said I'm free from G6PD already.

Yeah, your child needs to be cautious with certain food like what they mentioned above.

Even if you bring your child to western doctors, tell them that your child has G6PD so that the doctor will be more cautious in choosing the right medicine for him/her. That's what my dad did whenever I fell sick during my childhood.
