Clear soups

[Budgie5]

GP sent me to a&e today to rule our bowel abcess/oedema etc. Ruled out but along with the diverticulitis I’m suffering from my redundant colon loops hav basically gone on holiday so nothing moving. Got given stuff to deal with that - never had to take before! :-(. And been told I must continue with anti-b and go back Friday if pain not improved. Must also stick to water, jelly and clear liquid eg broths. On way back stopped off got some Baxter’s broths but they are definitely not see through. Any recommendations? I’m thinking the only poss is a stock cube dissolved in boiling water? Huge thanks

You can also have Bovril. Just a thought, I hope you are passing wind, as if not, you really should be in hospital, on a drip and prepared to have an operation to remove a blockage. I hope it isn't that, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Hello there. They did x-rays while i was in A&E (UK emergency dept) today, and gave me laxido and prescribed the clear diet to give my bowels a rest. I guess if there was a blockage they were particularly concerned about they wouldn't have sent me home. I'm to go back Friday if pain not sufficiently improved or if my temp returns. I don't have one anymore at the moment . Wind wise I don't know that i am passing, but managed a bowel movement yesterday.
