    I believe the best answer is to eat healthy food and don’t worry about fasting if you aren’t feeling well enough – the good food will nourish your body to help stave off the illness.

    My answer, as I was sick two weeks ago, was to change nothing and to continue fasting as usual. I did this because I felt that giving up the day would be harder on me than sacrificing it and in the end it worked out okay for me.
