    G6PD Deficiency Food to Avoid Some of the Foods Commonly Eaten Around the World Can Cause People with G6PD Deficiency to Hemolyze

    G6PD Deficiency Food To Avoid Some of the foods commonly eaten around the world can cause people with G6PD Deficiency to hemolyze. Some of these foods can be deadly (like fava beans). Some others can cause low level hemolysis, which means that red blood cells die, but not enough to cause the person to go to the hospital. Low level hemolysis over time can cause other problems, such as memory dysfunction, over worked spleen, liver and heart, and iron overload. Even though a G6PD Deficient person may not have a crises when consuming these foods, they should be avoided. • Fava beans and other legumes This list contains every legumes we could find, but there may be other names for them that we do not know about. Low level hemolysis is very hard to detect and can cause other problems, so we recommend the avoidance of all legumes. • Sulfites And foods containing them. Sulfites are used in a wide variety of foods, so be sure to check labels carefully. • Menthol And foods containing it. This can be difficult to avoid as toothpaste, candy, breath mints, mouth wash and many other products have menthol added to them. Mint from natural mint oils is alright to consume. • Artificial blue food coloring Other artificial food color can also cause hemolysis. Natural food color such as found in foods like turmeric or grapes is okay. • Ascorbic acid Artificial ascorbic acid commonly put in food and vitamins can cause hemolysis in large doses and should be avoided. It is put into so many foods that you can be getting a lot of Ascorbic Acid without realizing it.
