Did you get a CT scan with Barium Sulfate about the same time. this always causes me to have uncontrolable diareah that is near colorless

Yes, it can happen.

Losing hair is a more visible side-effect of chemo, but intestines can also be affected.

It's because these cells (those of the hair follicle and intestine) multiply faster than any other cells of the body, and so are more affected by chemo.

It is not a sign of liver toxicity.

If the chemo is toxic (more than usual) to the liver yes.
