  • I am 20 years old and I have G6PD deficiency and Im a heterogeneous female... I dont know what that means /..

  • I Inherited G6PD..& I love Broad beans! My parents would hide packets of "Broad beans" away from me till now..I'm healthy <3

  • Thank you for posting this video. I wish this was around when my baby was born! The doctors made it seem like it was a fatal deficiency; it also gave me alot more information than my doctors!

  • Other substances can be harmful to kids with this condition when consumed — or even touched — such as fava beans and naphthalene (a chemical found in mothballs and moth crystals). Mothballs can be particularly harmful if a child accidentally swallows one, so ANY contact should be avoided.

  • Wow!!!! This is a great video.

  • Some kids with G6PD deficiency can tolerate the medications in small amounts; others cannot take them at all. Check with your doctor for more specific instructions, as well as a complete list of medications that could pose a problem for a child with G6PD deficiency.

  • Kids with G6PD deficiency typically do not show any symptoms of the disorder until their red blood cells are exposed to certain triggers, which can be:

    illness, such as bacterial and viral infections

    certain painkillers and fever-reducing drugs

    certain antibiotics (especially those that have "sulf" in their names)

    certain antimalarial drugs (especially those that have "quine" in their names)

  • Excellent information
