Is it safe to give S-26 Gold as milk for a 2 month old G6PD child ?
Patient: HI, i m a mother of a 2 months old baby with G6PD....we we re able to determine her condition after the newborn screening....her Pedia knows about it and she recommended to take S-26 Gold as his milk since she was 0 months old until now....but in my researches, i found out that soy lecithin foods must not be taken by a G6PD deficient. Should i stop giving him S-26 Gold? Doctor: HelloG6PD enzyme level deficiency can be precipitated by various food products and medications. You can get that list from your physician or from the website .These products must be avoided by the parents and you should also teach the baby about all this as she grows.Soy product is one of those. So I would suggest you to discontinue the present preparation and consult your pediatrician about this matter.Regards
