Medical - Medical: Health Care | | English term or phrase: unable to keep down fluids | | Is without context, just in a list of symptoms. I translated it as הקאה תכופה וחוזרת, but wonder if there is a particular term for this expression in Hebrew. |

| | Hebrew translation:הקאה/ות בעקבות/לאחר/אחרי שתיה/שתיית נוזלים | Explanation:
Yes, I leave you with quite a lot of loose ends there, but I believe your own solution lacks because it may imply vomiting regarless of what the patient does and it doesn't differentiate between fluids and solids. |

Explanation:
This is the term I've seen often when the body cannot retain certain things. I believe it's more accurate, though the *outcome* is of course vomitting.

Asker: I'm not sure that's what I need - being unable to keep down fluids is a symptom of being unable to absorb liquids. It should be a symptom that a patient can recognize in his condition (it's a text intended for patients)
