Clear Liquid Diet. Background: A clear liquid diet consists of most liquids you can easily see through like water, broth and plain gelatin. These are liquid at body temperature, easily digested and leave no residue in your intestinal tract. A clear liquid diet should not be continued for more than 3-5 days, as it cannot provide you with adequate calories and nutrients, and should not be tried without physician supervision.
What is a full liquid diet? A full liquid diet includes only liquids and foods that are liquid at room temperature. You may need to follow this diet if you have trouble chewing or swallowing. You may also need to follow this diet if you have a severe intestinal illness or had surgery on your intestine.
