Question

Severe stomach pains, going to the bathroom + diarrhea
Is it forbidden to study / pray / put on tefillin?
Thank you

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

It is forbidden to put on tefillin unless there is a period of relief during which you do not need to relieve yourself. 

Studying and praying are permitted only if you do not currently feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom.
