Blood In Stools, Cramps. What Is It?

About a day ago I went to the restroom and found bright red blood in my stool and in the toilet as if it were food coloring. The following day, there was no blood. Today I used the restroom and I had more blood in the toilet and around the stool. I am also experiencing light period like cramps . I know this can mean anything, but based on these symptoms what do you think it could be?
