Dear John.. I have gone through the post in which you have mentioned that you are having severe diarrhea, weight loss, weakness & your blood tests have revealed increased liver enzymes.
All these findings suggest that you might be having acute hepatitis.
So...it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist.
Meanwhile take care of your diet..have plain, soft & non-spicy food. Avoid alcohol.
And don't worry...you will be perfectly alright.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
