👉 Refused fluid, also known as non-absorbable fluid or non-absorbent fluid, is a type of fluid that the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) cannot absorb or expel effectively. This typically occurs when the fluid is too viscous, too concentrated, or contains substances that are not easily absorbed. As a result, it remains in the GI tract longer than it should, leading to symptoms such as bloating, discomfort, and a feeling of fullness. Common causes include certain medications, high-sugar or high-fat diets, and conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. The body's inability to process this fluid can disrupt normal digestive processes and lead to various gastrointestinal issues.
