Do you know the name of this condition, please?

Question

There is this condition that is not exactly an allergy. The person is born with it. It's something in the blood. They can't eat beans: any kind of beans. That means they can't eat soy, peanuts, broad beans, beans, lentils,....etc. If they do eat any of those, they get very yellow in the face and feel fatigue. It could get them really sick if eaten in quantities. They also have much faster metabolisms. It's got to do with the red blood cells. Are you familiar with this condition? What is its name? I need to do some search on it and I don't know the name. I guess it might be a kind of anaemia. Please tell me its name and anything you know about it. Thanks!

Answer 1

Favism.

Answer 2

The other person is wrong (baby girl) there are many types of anemia, it could be hemolytic anemia where the person is born with this and it affects their blood,

Hypothyroidism is where they have fast metabolism and eating peanuts could be affecting them and making it worse, this is where the person feels fatigued and tired.

sickle cell anemia doesn't just affect Africans but also Asian, Indian, Mediterranean people also affected but i don't think that's your answer, because those people have problems with low oxygen consumption and cold environments.

good luck.xxx

Answer 3

Sounds like a type of anemia or hepatitis. People with hepatitis, or liver disease, will have metabolic problems and be a slight yellow in color, as the liver will release toxins into the blood stream, staining the skin with a yellow pigment similar to gall.

red blood cell disorders that are common is sickle cell. not an allergy to beans and common only is a person with african american hereitage.
