Your physician has ordered a special diet for you based on your current medical condition.
You’re on a liquid diet to assist with nutritional intake. The clear liquid diet is used to maintain hydration while minimizing GI stress/damage. It’s intended for short-term use as it doesn’t provide enough nutrients to meet all your nutrition needs. Foods on the clear liquid diet include broth, gelatin and popsicles.
The full liquid diet is a transition diet to help you gradually move toward solid foods. Foods on the full liquid diet include strained cream soups, milkshakes and pudding.
