agree  Didier Declercq (X): Ik denk dat Barend het bij het rechte eind heeft. Ik dacht ook eerst aan bloed en slijm, maar dat paste niet bij norovirussymptomen. Slim dat je aan mintekens dacht.

  -> Dank je, Didier. Ik ken deze verslagen en heb er honderden vertaald.
agree  Kitty Brussaard: Dat minteken heeft me genekt :-) / Een duidelijk geval van de klok hebben horen luiden, maar etc.

misselijkheid en braken


Explanation:
The context being gastro-intestinal (GI), this probably refers to the first two symptoms covered by the common medical abbreviation N/V/D/C >> nausea / vomiting / diarrhea / constipation

Given your context, "b-s" may refer to "bowel sounds (on auscultation using a stethoscope)". Oftewel: darmgeluiden waargenomen bij auscultatie van de buik. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations:...
