| The full liquid diet is a temporary diet that is used in several different settings such as preparation for surgery or medical tests, or resting the lower GI tract. The full liquid diet helps to keep a person hydrated, is easy to digest and does not leave much residue in the stomach or intestines. Fruit juices without pulp such as apple, grape and cranberry, nectars, broth and teas with lemon are examples of items allowed in the liquid diet. |
