DESCRIPTION
The Full Liquid Diet is a diet which is
intermediate between the clear liquid and mechanical soft diet in
characteristics. It provides more calories than the clear liquid diet, but is
still liquid in the stomach and intestinal tract which is essential for
patients who cannot chew or swallow solid foods.
This diet is deficient in several
nutrients including niacin, folacin and iron. If the patient remains on this
diet more than two days, a vitamin and mineral supplement is required.
