Medical - Medical: Health Care / intestinal symptoms | | Spanish term or phrase: productos patológicos | This phrase appears in a report about a hospitalized patient: " ... comienza con náuseas intensas ... al día siguiente se añade diarrea sin *productos patológicos* ..."
I find a few instances of 'pathologic products' in Google, but not many ... 100-200 ... and I've never seen this phrase in English in this context (the diarrhea context). Would this be the best standard medical English way to express this, or is there something better?

Saludos Joseph, you´re right, when I narrowed my search down to *pathological products diarrhea* I got 189.000 hits, very few of which pertain to the pathological products of diarrhea per se...hope it helps anyway..have a great finde...jaja...sometimes dealing with not-so-nice words is one of the "gajes del oficio"...

Asker: Hola Cesar. Thanks for your suggested answer. When I searched in Google, I put in "pathologic products" plus another word, either 'diarrhea' or 'feces' (sorry) ... and when I narrow the context like this, I get less than 200 hits. Otherwise you do get millions of answers, but most of them don't have anything to do with intestinal illness.
Asker: Hi again, César. Thanks for your answer and your efforts. I picked the other answer because it's more specific, but I see from all the 'agrees' that your answer certainly isn't wrong! Saludos.
