Question
A young man has a problem where he constantly has a strong bitter taste in his mouth. He has already visited several doctors and a gastroenterologist, but they still don't know exactly what it is. He wakes up from it in the middle of the night and needs to drink something sweet to get rid of it, and throughout the day he really suffers from this phenomenon, constantly drinking sweet drinks and chewing gum, etc. Sometimes a sweet drink is enough to get rid of it, and sometimes more is needed. What is his status on Yom Kippur?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita:
Try to drink sweet beverages, less than the shiur.
That is, no more than 40 cc every 9 minutes.
