# If one made a [[Bracha Achrona]] only because one was afraid that Shuir Ikul would pass and one has intent to continue eating afterwards, one doesn’t need a new [[Bracha Rishona]] when one continues to eat. <Ref>Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 178:18) </ref>

# One who went to the bathroom in the middle of a snack need not recite a new bracha upon returning. <Ref> Rama OC 178:7. Even though the Biur Halacha 178:7 writes that for a non-bread meal going to the bathroom would be an interruption, the Piskei Teshuvot 178:7 holds that nowadays when we have bathrooms indoors we don't recite a new bracha after going to the bathroom. Regarding Sephardim, even though Rav Ovadia Yosef (Halichot Olam (vol 1 pg 44)  and codified in Yalkut Yosef (vol 3 pg 330)) held that one should recite a bracha if one goes to the bathroom in the middle of a meal, later he retracted as is recorded in Yalkut Yosef (Brachot 5771 version, 178:26). Halacha Brurah 178:23 agrees.</ref>
