Follow instructions: Clear liquids is common, but not for that long. Call the doctor or staff.

Should be ok: The reason for clear liquids is to clean out your intestinal tract. Simple sugars like in honey or hard candy should break down quickly in gut. Make sure that you are getting good electrolytes. You can get those from sources like clear broths.
