Hello
Your symptoms suggest that you may be suffering from inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease.
Since the same symptoms may arise in colon cancer also,you require a thorough investigation including blood tests,barium enema,colonoscopy with biopsy and may be MRI abdomen.
You must consult a Gastroenterologist to evaluate yourself completely.
