What can i eat as a person with gpd deficeny - #29214
I am really worried about my diet because I just found out I have G6PD deficiency. I mean, I didn't even know what G6PD meant before my doc mentioned it. I was at the clinic, feeling kind of out of it anyway, and suddenly they’re throwing around terms like hemolytic anemia, which sounds scary! They told me certain foods can trigger these reactions, and I’m like, what can I eat as a person with G6PD deficiency that won’t send me spiraling? I usually love fava beans and things like that, but now I guess I’ve gotta avoid them?! That’s such a bummer. Also, what about fruits or veggies? I just tried searching “what can I eat as a person with G6PD deficiency” online but honestly, it’s so overwhelming. I saw stuff about avoiding certain oils and legumes, but I’m not even sure what all of that includes. Do I have to read all the labels at the grocery store or what? I just wanna make sure I'm not missing something crucial in my diet. Anything that could help me sort this out would be amazing!
