Clear broths (like chicken broth, beef broth, etc) were allowed when I did prep. Nothing like cream-based soup nor tomato soup were allowed, and nothing in the soup (no meat, noodles, etc). The last time I prepped, my hubby made chicken soup in the crock pot. I had the broth in the evening while I was prepping, and he ate the chicken. That worked out pretty well, and homemade broth is so much better than store-bought.
Good luck with your prep and capsule endoscopy!

My GI allowed me to drink Ensure's not sure if that is normal though. I drink them with Chicken broth and jello

I was not allowed ensure during any preps. Clear broth bouillon (chicken, beef, veg), jello, ices and gatorade (no red). I think black coffee and tea without milk. You should closely follow your instructions because the last thing you want is to prep and be told you cannot have the procedure.

Is the Ensure clear, actually clear? I know I tried the Boost Breeze and I would not dare to take that while prepping because the colouring is so intense, it goes out (ileostomy) same color it got in in shades of orange to red, so not quite convinced of its use for the situation. I wonder if the ensure clear is better on that aspect?
Here they allow: broth, sprite/7up, apple/white cranberries/white grape juices, tea and coffee (wo milk), light colour gelatins and vanilla boost/ensure.

For any Brits reading this try barrs American cream soda it does kill the taste of moviprep,it's still bouffing but it helps
Well, tried the clear peach flavored - idk but one sip was all I could do. On a scale of yum to gagging this just didn't work for me. Gagged me but not blowing through the nose like the clean out kit TG! I have highly sensitive taste buds.
I might try this blended with a banana and plenty of other stuff to mask the vitamin taste.
Everyones taste buds are different. They might work better for some of you.

I just slam them so by the time I taste it, it's gone.
The advice sheet I was given said the only clear soups I could have were bouillon and consommé (I think consommé is actually made from bouillon?). They were disgusting! I couldn't drink them, and I can't stand jelly (jello in the US) or lucozade, so I was really stuck. Even after a day without food, I couldn't eat them. I ate glacier mints, I think they were the only thing on the list I liked.
I also had some things that were not clear liquids, and it didn't cause any problems with my test.

I wish I had read this before I did mine! I had chicken soup (the creamy kind) thinking that was okay? That said, my colonoscopy went well
And I drank my prep straight.. Worst. taste. ever.
