Question
Moadim Lesimcha, thank you for the opportunity to ask... I have sensitive digestion and do not eat gluten, so my diet is based on legumes. Now on Passover, I really miss them, especially in the morning when digestion is even more sensitive. Can I eat legumes on Passover?
Answer
Hello,
The custom of prohibiting legumes for Ashkenazim is an ancient custom and cannot be permitted.
If it is necessary for a sick person, it is allowed.
Therefore, if there is a way to manage on Passover with vegetables and proteins, there is no permission to eat legumes.
However, if there is no other possibility and there is a health concern with other products, one should be lenient according to the instructions of a sage.
