Bathroom Blessing when Ill


Question:

If you are ill and must use the restroom very often (3-4 times an hour) due to "the runs", or vomiting, must you say the blessing upon leaving every time?



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

No. If it is clear that the person is not well and will need the bathroom again in a short while, he should not make a blessing every time he uses the bathroom.
