Sounds like a plan. I always give preference to the clear liquids while in the acute phase. Soy milk would be fine, but I am pretty sure he doesn't want the gas at this time. We don't want to add any extra intracolonic pressure. This is why they don't give morphine anymore for the pain.

Also should he be unable to take the liquids or develop a temp >101 (some docs use 100.5) of course you would probably want to contact the Doc or ED.
