Yalkut Yosef: 328
It is permissible to do things on Shabbat for a Holeh She'en Bo Sakana that are otherwise forbidden Miderabanan. However it is forbidden for such a Holeh to eat food that is forbidden Miderabanan. Included in this is food which is muktzeh. Therefore, it would be forbidden for a Holeh She'en Bo Sakana to eat fruits on Shabbat that were picked that day even if the doctor instructed him to. Likewise it would forbidden to drink milk that was milked that day. Ashkenazim are lenient in this regard and do allow a Holeh She'en Bo Sakana to eat muktzeh food on Shabbat. Of course, if a person's life is in danger everything possible must be done to help him.
