Note from asker:
| thx, I too am coming to the conclusion that there's no way of getting around "non-serious" |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
MMUlr
: Yes, definitely - and IMO nicht-schwerwiegend (correc German spelling: nichtschwerwiegend as opposed to schwerwiegend) has certainly been translated from the English original "non-serious".

Paul Cohen
: I would also say "mild diarrhea" or even "a mild case of diarrhea" - but the Asker has indicated that this is probably not what is meant here - i.e., we need a "stronger" term. Hmmm...

I bet you can't say "serious diarrhea" without smiling.
"Severe," on the other hand, is much more serious.

Note from asker:
| Jim, the problem is that, at least in terms of adverse events and diseases, "serious" and "severe" are not interchangeable |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Paul Cohen
: Hey, Jim. If "non-severe diarrhea" is more severe than "mild diarrhea" I'll give you an agree. / I think I have a non-severe case of Googlitis (or is it just 'mild'?).

Oh Pablo, Pablo. Is there a problem with "non-severe?" // "non-severe" gets 154,000 ghits, a great number describing diseases and syndromes // "non-severe" is more precise because it indicates no danger of dehydration etc - "mild" not register in orig.
