I’m getting over an illness where every meal seems to knock me out, like all of my resources go to digesting it and everything else shuts down. So I want to try a liquid diet for at least a day to give my digestion a bit of a rest.

Most liquid things I can think of are either very low calorie (most soups) or full of sugar (most drinks), neither of which are ideal.

Anyone ever done this, by doctors orders or not, and what did you drink/eat?

Thanks for all this, yeah I remember randomly buying Complan a while ago just to see what it was like, maybe a bit sweet but it's available locally if I need to pick up something tomorrow.

Even stuff like porridge or eggs is feeling heavy on the stomach at the moment, but packet chicken noodle soup or homemade sweet potato soup would hit the spot if it was diluted enough, basically more of a broth. Probably some banana smoothies with oatmilk too, trying to avoid dairy for a couple of days.

Ideally I'd just fast for a bit but I need the calories just now. The number of naps I've had in the last few days, they would be amazing if I didn't feel so crap!
