constant diarrhea at 4 weeks

hey ladies so I am about 4 weeks pregnant and have had constant diarrhea for the past week and a half now and I have gone to the docs last week and he told me i was pregnant and he ran some blood work and took a stool sample for testing. The blood work came back with an abnormality on my liver and he is running more tests now but I can barely keep anything in me for longer than 10 minutes anymore. I am not getting dehydrated thank goodness but im worried my baby is not getting enough nutrients. my normal doc (the one running the tests) doesnt do OB care and my OB doc wont see me till im 9 weeks. what can I do to make sure my baby gets the proper nutrients in order to survive?

My doctor told me it's normal it's just as common as morning sickness, and constipation, it's just not as popular, it can be from the increasing hormones or adjusting to prenatals, if it continues, make sure you bring it up to your OB though!
