Hello
This is most likely a bacterial colitis as with E coli, salmonella or C diff but it could also be a sign of inflammatory bowel disease as in ulcerative colitis.
Were I your doctor I would get a stool sample for microscopic and culture and sensitivities, and then schedule you for a colonoscopy
