Question
Shalom and blessings, I have a question regarding Yom Kippur. I have sensitive bowels, with frequent diarrhea, which weakens me greatly and causes thirst (and last week I also had COVID). What should I do during the fast?
Answer
Shalom Rav and a complete recovery
If there are recurring bouts of diarrhea, you should drink in measured amounts.
That is, 40 cc every 9 minutes.
