Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of the digestive
system. They're found most often in the lower part of the large intestine
system a chance to rest. Eat small amounts until bleeding and diarrhea subside.
In some cases, one or more of the pouches become inflamed or infected. This is
known as diverticulitis.
This is because clear liquids are easily digested and help clean out the body's intestinal
tract.
A clear liquid diet consists of clear liquids — such as water, broth and plain gelatin — that are
easily digested and leave no undigested residue in your intestinal tract. Your doctor
may prescribe a clear liquid diet before certain medical procedures or if you have certain
digestive problems.
Clear liquids provide calories, electrolytes, and water, which means they can help nourish the
body and prevent dehydration. Clear liquid diets are safe for short-term use under the
guidance of a doctor. A clear liquid diet may vary, depending on why a doctor has
recommended it.
