Ohhh, thanks for clarifying . I hope he asks his rabbi to make sure that's okay.

I know someone who told me he's going to eat Kneidlach... I don't understand this - since this person has permission to eat matzah to do the mitzvah both nights of the sedarim, so now he has blanket "permission" to go off the SCD diet and eat kneidlach too? For that matter, he'd might as ...
