If you observe a regular fast, do you continue to observe it when you are sick, or do you lessen it somewhat? I'm thinking here of "limited" fasts--such as the Orthodox practice of abstaining from all animal products, oil, and wine on Wednesdays and Fridays--rather than total fasts (i.e., eating nothing all day).
I have an awful cold right now, and while there is no particular reason why it should keep me from fasting, I of course want "comfort foods" that include ingredients that are off limits on fast days.
