Question
My grandmother usually refrains from eating matzah from Rosh Chodesh Nisan. Last year, due to stomach illness, she ate matzah all year round. Now, although the illness has passed and medically she has no problem eating bread, she has become accustomed to eating matzah, and bread does not suit her well, so she continues to eat matzah instead of bread. The question is whether she is allowed to continue eating matzah after Rosh Chodesh Nisan because she is accustomed to matzah and bread does not suit her. Of course, this refers to chametz matzah and not Passover kosher matzah, but it is impossible to know for sure since sometimes factories make Passover kosher matzah but not with complete strictness and market them as chametz matzah.
Answer
Hello,
She can eat matzah until the eve of Passover (14th of Nisan), as the prohibition is according to the law.
