<div class="PlainText">and I can't see how I can be described as anything other than a choleh,<br>

<div class="PlainText">That's a situation which fits a fairly classic model of physical symptoms and definable illness making you, presumably, a choleh in hilchos YK. So I presume that had you felt that you had to eat for fear of becoming dangerously ill then
OC 618:1 would apply to you and you could have eaten against medical opinion.</div>
<div class="PlainText">The problem is the non-classic cases as I mentioned, where the illness is not objectively definable. What happens to the category of choleh then?</div>
<div class="PlainText"><br>

<div class="PlainText">Incidentally, I'm surprised to hear that you were told not to take antibiotics on YK since it's easily possible to do so without any issur of achila at all. </div>
