1. Pagkain at Pagkain ng Ina (Food Triggers)
� Fava Beans (Habas) at Bakla Beans: Ito ang pinaka-delikadong trigger. Kahit ang ina ang kumain, pwedeng pumasa ang compounds nito sa gatas ng ina.
� Paalala sa ibang beans: Ang ibang beans gaya ng munggo, chickpeas, o black beans ay ligtas naman sa karamihan, ngunit ang Fava Beans ang strict na ipinagbabawal.
2. Mga Gamot na Bawal Inumin ng Ina (Medication Triggers)
Bago uminom ng kahit anong gamot ang nagpapasusong ina, kailangang magpakonsulta muna sa doktor o sabihin sa pharmacist na may G6PD ang baby.
� Sulfonamides / Sulfa Drugs (Karaniwang nasa antibiotics o gamot sa impeksyon sa ihi/UTI).
� Methane Blue (Karaniwang sangkap sa ilang gamot sa ihi).
� Anti-malarial Drugs (Gamot laban sa malaria gaya ng Primaquine).
� Ilang Aspirin (Mas ligtas gamitin ang Paracetamol para sa lagnat o sakit, basta approved ng doktor).
3. Mga Kemikal sa Bahay (Chemical Triggers)
Dapat iwasan ng ina na masinghot o madikit sa mga ito habang nag-aalaga at nagpapasuso:
� Naphthalene Balls (Mothballs / Alkapora): Huwag na huwag gagamit nito sa mga cabinet ng damit ng ina o ng baby. Ang singaw nito ay matindi at mapanganib sa may G6PD.
� Pure Henna (Black/Red Henna): Iwasan ang pagpapakulay ng buhok o pagpapatattoo gamit ang henna habang nagpapasuso.

​Kapag ang isang nanay ay nagpapasuso at ang kanyang sanggol ay may G6PD deficiency, ang pangkalahatang panuntunan ay kung ano ang bawal kainin o inumin ng baby, bawal din itong kainin o inumin ng nagpapasusong ina. Ang mga substance na ito ay maaaring pumasa sa gatas ng ina at mag-trigger ng hemolytic crisis (pagkasira ng red blood cells) sa bata.

​Narito ang mga pangunahing dapat iwasan:

​1. Mga Pagkain na Dapat Iwasan

​Fava Beans (Bakula): Ito ang pinaka-bawal sa lahat. Iwasan ang fava beans at anumang pagkaing may sangkap nito (madalas itong matatagpuan sa ilang Mediterranean dishes, foreign snacks, o ilang uri ng heavy pasta/soups).

​Tandaan: Ang ibang karaniwang sitaw o beans (tulad ng monggo, string beans, o baguio beans) ay pangkalahatang itinuturing na ligtas, ngunit bantayan pa rin si baby kung magkaroon ng reaksyon.

​2. Mga Gamot at Supplements (Nangangailangan ng Reseta at Gabay ng Doktor)

​Huwag na huwag iinom ng kahit anong gamot nang hindi nagtatanong sa pediatrician ni baby o sa iyong doktor. Ilan sa mga bawal o mapanganib ay:

​Gamot sa lagnat/sakit: Iwasan ang Aspirin. (Ang Paracetamol at Ibuprofen ay karaniwang safe, basta tama ang dosis, ngunit mas mabuting mag-ingat).

​High-Dose Vitamin C o Ascorbic Acid: Iwasan ang pag-inom ng mga artificial mega-dose supplements ng Vitamin C. Mas ligtas makuha ang bitamina mula sa natural na prutas at gulay sa katamtamang dami.

​Ilang Antibiotics at Antimalarials: May mga partikular na antibiotics (tulad ng Sulfonamides o co-trimoxazole) na mahigpit na ipinagbabawal.

​3. Mga Kemikal sa Bahay (Dapat ding Iwasan)

​Mothballs (Naphthalene) / Alporas: Huwag gagamit nito sa mga aparador o sa loob ng bahay. Ang singaw nito ay napakatapang at lubhang mapanganib sa mga may G6PD deficiency, kahit nalanghap lang.

Secure your child’s future health with comprehensive genetic screening.

DNA Story delivers actionable insights into heart health, allergies, and nutrition. More importantly, we identify risks before they become emergencies.

Why G6PD Screening is Critical: Both our Wellness and Premium tests detect the G6PD Mutation.

The Risk: Exposure to certain foods or drugs can cause rapid red blood cell breakdown in carriers.

The Solution: You must know their status to avoid these triggers.

Living with G6PD Deficiency
Living with G6PD deficiency requires vigilance in avoiding triggers and maintaining open communication with healthcare providers. Regular check-ups and prompt treatment of infections are crucial to managing the condition effectively. By understanding and managing the triggers, individuals with G6PD deficiency can lead healthy and active lives.

In severe cases of hemolytic anemia, treatments may include blood transfusions and other supportive care measures. Newborns with severe jaundice may require phototherapy or exchange transfusions.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis of G6PD deficiency involves a simple blood test to measure the enzyme levels. If G6PD deficiency is suspected, additional tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), reticulocyte count, and bilirubin levels may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of hemolysis.

Management of G6PD deficiency primarily involves avoiding known triggers. This includes:

Avoiding Certain Medications: Informing healthcare providers of the condition to avoid prescribing harmful medications.
Dietary Restrictions: Avoiding fava beans and other trigger foods.
Monitoring for Infections: Prompt treatment of infections to prevent hemolysis.
Education and Awareness: Educating patients and families about potential triggers and symptoms.

Triggers and Causes
G6PD deficiency is typically inherited and is more common in males due to its X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. Certain populations, including those of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian descent, have higher incidences of G6PD deficiency.

Common triggers that can lead to hemolytic anemia in individuals with G6PD deficiency include:

Medications: Certain antibiotics (e.g., sulfa drugs, nitrofurantoin), antimalarial drugs (e.g., primaquine), and other medications.
Foods: Fava beans and foods with artificial dyes.
Infections: Bacterial or viral infections can trigger hemolysis.
Chemicals: Exposure to certain chemicals such as naphthalene found in mothballs.
Stress: Physical or emotional stress can exacerbate symptoms.

Newborns with G6PD deficiency may also exhibit severe jaundice within the first few days of life, which requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications such as brain damage.
