Dear,
From what I have read it sounds like a bacterial bowel infection, causing the blood-watery diarrhea. But the fact that your husband has been alternating between constipation and diarrhea, the last being bloody diarrhea, is a red sign for colon cancer.
This is why I recommend you to see your doctor as soon as possible.
He will order a sygmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, and assess the risk of cancer.
Please do this as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Manoku Eni M.D.
