This book bravely addresses those issues and provides answers for those who continue to suffer unnecessarily from this very common, but virtually unknown genetic enzyme disorder. The Truth About Living With G6PD Deficiency explains in detail and in layman’s terms: what G6PDD is how you get it what it does how to prevent health problems what to do when you have a reaction what foods to avoid what drugs to avoid how to live with G6PDD and be healthy feeding and caring for G6PDD babies how G6PDD affects women how G6PDD affects malaria and more It is well researched with over 50 citations and is small enough (6" x 9") to put in your purse and take with you to the store or doctor's appointment.
