Hi, I am glad that your grandson is already 3 years and 6 months. Milk as such is no problem. You can give him fresh cows milk pasteurized because one has to avoid infections with bacteria like salmonella which causes diarrhea. In this case you can also give Pedicure. Regarding foods to be avoided, some homework has to be done because main management is to avoid lava beans, sometimes touching may also precipitate some hemolysis. My advice to look at all food labels and compare with a list which you can download from internet and hang it on the fridge for ready reference ------alternatives are always available. Also check out how severely deficient your grandson is with a pediatric hematologist. Good news is as they get older and have at least 50% of total enzyme not many hemolytic episodes reported.
