Purpose

A clear liquid diet is often used before tests, procedures or surgeries that require no food in your stomach or intestines, such as before colonoscopy. It may also be recommended as a short-term diet if you have certain digestive problems, such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, or after certain types of surgery.

Diet details

A clear liquid diet helps maintain adequate hydration, provides some important electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, and gives some energy at a time when a full diet isn't possible or recommended.

The following foods are allowed in a clear liquid diet:

• Water (plain, carbonated or flavored)
• Fruit juices without pulp, such as apple or white grape
• Fruit-flavored beverages, such as fruit punch or lemonade
• Carbonated drinks, including dark sodas (cola and root beer)
• Gelatin
• Tea or coffee without milk or cream
• Strained tomato or vegetable juice
• Sports drinks
• Clear, fat-free broth (bouillon or consomme)
• Honey or sugar
• Hard candy, such as lemon drops or peppermint rounds
• Ice pops without milk, bits of fruit, seeds or nuts

Any foods not on the above list should be avoided. Also, for certain tests, such as colon exams, your doctor may ask you to avoid liquids or gelatin with red colouring.

A typical menu on the clear liquid diet may look like this.

Breakfast

• 1 glass pulp-free fruit juice
• 1 bowl gelatin
• 1 cup of coffee or tea, without dairy products
• Sugar or honey, if desired

Snack

• 1 glass fruit juice (pulp-free)
• 1 bowl gelatin

Lunch

• 1 glass pulp-free fruit juice
• 1 glass water
• 1 cup broth
• 1 bowl gelatin

Snack

• 1 cup coffee or tea, without dairy products, or a soft drink
• Sugar or honey if desired

Dinner

Why You May Need This Diet

You may need to be on a clear liquid diet right before a medical test or procedure, or before certain kinds of surgery. It is important to follow the diet exactly to avoid problems with your procedure or surgery or your test results.

You also may need to be on a clear liquid diet for a little while after you have had surgery on your stomach or intestine. You may also need to be on this diet if you:

• Have diarrhea
• Are throwing up
• Are sick to your stomach

What You Can Eat and Drink

You can eat or drink only the things you can see through. Clear fruit juices are ok, but juice with nectar or pulp are NOT ok. Milk is also NOT ok.

You can have these clear liquids:

• Plain water
• Fruit juices without pulp, such as grape juice, filtered apple juice, and cranberry juice
• Soup broth (bouillon or consommé)
• Clear sodas, such as ginger ale and Sprite
• Gelatin (Jell-O)
• Popsicles that do not have bits of fruit or fruit pulp in them
• Tea or coffee with no cream or milk added
• Sports drinks

Try having a mix of 3 to 5 of these choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Avoid things that are not on the list, including fruit nectars and canned or frozen fruit.
