Scratching During Amidah

Are you allowed to scratch an itch and/or release gas from the mouth or other end and/or sneeze during prayer?

Answer:

Yes, this is permitted. If a person would not scratch etc. he would be distracted from his prayer, so that it is better to do so respectfully, while pausing slightly from the prayer, and then to continue.

Best wishes.
