Reply To: Is It Okay To Change A Minhag?

Pesachim 40something, I think (and it’s in Brachos too) mentions that a Zaken or Choleh can even soak his Matzah in water so it’s easier to chew. And, as mentioned above, saliva is Mechametz. Thus, to really hold Gebrochts you couldn’t let Matzah come in contact with your saliva.
