"u have problems" hehehe this is what i read... G6PD deficiency is closely linked to favism, a disorder characterized by a hemolytic reaction to consumption of broad beans, with a name derived from the Italian name of the broad bean (fava). The name favism is sometimes used to refer to the enzyme deficiency as a whole, although this is misleading as not all people with G6PD deficiency will manifest a physically observable reaction to consumption of broad beans.

If you are found to have G6PD deficiency, avoid exposure to those substances that trigger reactions. The drugs or chemicals that most often trigger reactions include sulfa drugs, including the antibiotics Bactrim and Septra, certain diuretics (“water pills”), and drugs for the prevention or treatment of malaria, especially primaquine. If you are deficient, it is important that you talk with your health care provider BEFORE taking any medications, including those not requiring prescriptions. Some drugs used to prevent or treat malaria can be dangerous if given to a person with G6PD deficiency,although some of these may be safe when used in the right doses. 

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, overworked spleen, liver, kidney and heart, and iron overload. Even though a G6PD Deficient person may not have a crises when consuming these foods, they should be avoided.

FOOD TO AVOID:
Fava Beans and other legumes
Menthol and foods containing it. This can be difficult to avoid as tooth paste, 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. See Ascorbic Acid for more information about iron absorbtion and ascorbic acid.
Tonic water (contains quinine, a contraindicated drug which causes hemolysis in G6PDD people).
Bitter Gourd and Garden Egg-Bitter Gourd is also known as Bitter Mellon. These are common foods in some parts of Africa and Asia.
Some Chinese herbs-particularly Rhizoma Coptidis (huang lien), Calculus Bovis (neu huang), Flos Chimonanthi Praecocis (leh mei hua), Flos Lonicerae (kam ngan fa) and Margarita or anything containing them." i have problems.. but this is not that bad actually .."i think"
