G6PD deficiency really warrants a parent to be extremely careful with he diet of the child. I am hoping that you use be well aware of the things that you need to avoid. There are so many websites out there that tells you what to take and what now. Hence, the confusion. In such cases you should always talk to your healthcare provider. It would be mandatory for you to discuss the new food items that you want to introduce with the treating doctor whose seeing your child.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
