Plus rien ne passe

French to English Marketing Nutrition Sports nutrition
Hello

This phrase is in a text about sports nutrition, and the specific section is discussing the body's aversion to sweet foods in endurance training and long-distance races.

...l’écœurement au sucré est inevitable. Plus rien ne passe, c’est une véritable descente aux enfers qui peut pousser, dans les cas extrêmes, à l’arrêt de la course.

Thanks

Mark

nothing goes down

that's how I'd put it in colloquial American English. Does that help? I wouldn't go as far as saying "everything becomes indigestible".

Depending on the style, you may have to flesh it out: "Intolerance to anything/everything sweet sets in." On the other hand, it could mean "You can't keep anything (sweet) down," as that would fit with the descent into Hell and giving up running! Just trying to give you some ideas!

"Nothing goes down" = can't swallow sweet stuff. "Can't keep anything down" = vomiting
disagree Lara Barnett : I agree with Carol. If this is some sort of marketing or commercial text I would not expect the idea to be conveyed in this form.

neutral B D Finch : Perhaps a slight tweek: nothing will go down. Different from "nothing will stay down" which would be vomiting.

neutral writeaway : afaik, in medical terminology, tolerance has a very specific meaning. don't see how that fits in this context/if one can't stomach something, it means they don't like it, they find it disgusting
