hello, i think you have got issue of acute diarrheal infection. please rehydrate yourself with preferebly electrolyte solution like O.R.S. or other electrolyte combination solution available in market. avoid drinking coffee or tea in excess amounts and avoid energy drinks. take probiotics for few days to improve gut's good bacterial counts. avoid excessive greasy or spicy or carbohydrate rich food as of now. in case your diarrhea still persists, please visit your nearest ER so that they may look up.
and you may be having hemorrhoids or fissure for your issue of blood in stools.
