Doctors, what are the repercussions of a clear liquid diet for an extended time period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite a lot: I was going to say, if you liquify a regular diet there obviously won't be problems. You said a clear liquid diet. I assume you do not mean TUBE FEEDING with prepared full-nutrient solutions, but like water. Vitamin deficiency (thiamine) will cause circulatory collapse in 2-4 weeks. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000339.htm
