Tag: Clear vs full liquid diet

MedlinePlus indicates that a full liquid diet is comprised of fluids and foods that are normally liquid or melt to liquid at room temperature. While the name 'liquid diet' might suggest otherwise, there are indeed a variety of foods and nutritional options available, moving beyond basic water and broth.

A full liquid diet is often the stepping stone between a clear liquid diet and returning to solid foods, especially after surgery or for those with chewing and swallowing difficulties. This transition often raises questions about specific foods, including: **is applesauce allowed on a full liquid diet**?
