undigestable
Stomach won't absorb
Undigestable means unable to be digested—food or material that the body cannot break down and absorb.
The standard form is *indigestible*, making undigestable a less common variant that some consider nonstandard: The husk is undigestable and passes straight through.
Figuratively, information or ideas can be undigestable when too difficult to process or accept.
