#415 Time Lapse for Dairy After Meat in Intensive Care.
My husband (hospitalized and in intensive care) is restricted to eat only paste like food, which is labeled as meat. He can’t have fluids like water, because he chokes on them. The drink is labeled as OU- Dairy (Meat is supplied by Baycrest), how long is the minimum he has to wait between them.
Thank you for a fast reply
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is that in times of need, as for a sick person, it is sufficient to wait one hour if possible. Ingredients should be checked, since there may be only derivatives of milk or meat present, and he may not have to wait at all. He suggested that the patient should drink the dairy substance prior to his eating the meat.
