Hi,
It would be best, despite your previous good report, not to use the whey supplement with the history of G6pd because of the risk of interaction. You may want to consider consulting with a nutritionist for advice regarding a diet that would be specifically for you.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
