Tisha B’Av fast – severe Helicobacter condition. | Sheilot

Tisha B’Av fast – severe Helicobacter condition.

Question

In general, I suffer from severe hunger pains if I don’t eat every two to three hours. 

I had the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, and I’m not sure if I still have it. But the pain is extreme. 

Am I allowed to eat now? I’ve been fasting until now, but it’s really hard. 

Answer

It is permissible to eat and drink as usual.
