A clear liquid diet is made up of clear liquids and foods that are liquid at room temperature. Some examples of these foods or liquids are:

• Juice, lemonade, limeade, orange drink, apple juice, any juice you can see through is acceptable. Remember – many of these have high levels of sugar.
• Clear broth, bouillon, consommé
• Jello, Italian Ice, Popsicles
• Tea, coffee, decaffeinated tea/coffee (DO NOT put any milk or cream in your tea of coffee), Kool-aid, carbonated beverages  

The clear liquid diet does not provide all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or calories that your body needs.  It 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.

A clear liquid diet is used before a test or surgery to make sure your colon is empty. The digestive tract is the path that food takes through your body as it is digested. You may also need this diet after stomach or bowel (small and large intestines) surgery. The goal of this diet is to provide liquids and part of the calories you need until you can eat solid food. Clear liquids are easily digested (broken down) and do not put a strain on your stomach or intestines.  

To avoid hypoglycemia, test blood glucose more often this day and use clear apple juice to maintain appropriate blood glucose level.
