If you can see through it, it's considered a clear liquid. What about apple juice or popsicles? Does she like either of those?

Hope all goes well!!

i thought Â*kool aid may be where is it water based. Apple juice she will not take either she is so stubborn.

[madelyn and rynns mom]

Gatorade or pedialite count as clear liquids, koolaid should too!!! Also chicken or beef broth or bouillon. They say to avoid red colored drinks though, because if she throws up they would not be able to check properly for blood with the red coloring!!!
Good luck!!!!

Need for the diet:
The clear liquid diet is a temporary diet that is used in several different settings.

Preparation for surgery and medical tests such as sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and other x-rays or tests that require little food in the stomach and intestines.
When someone has been unable to eat any food for several days or after surgery.

The clear liquid diet helps to keep you hydrated (body fluids, salts and minerals) and helps to get the body used to food after long periods of time without food. The clear liquid diet is easy to digest and does not leave much residue in the stomach and intestines.

Important Considerations:

If you experience abdominal discomfort such as cramps or pain, contact your doctor or nurse as soon as possible.
The clear liquid diet does not provide enough energy, protein and many other nutrients. This diet is temporary and should not be used for more than 5 days. If you are on this diet for more than 5 days, your doctor and/or dietitian will tell you which supplement to use.
The amount of liquid that you drink or eat on this diet may be important. If your doctor sets a limit about the amount, follow those directions carefully.
