Suggest Remedy For Bloody Stools And Mucus

Hi i am 18 years old and i've had problems with my colon for a while now. I've had bloody stools for 8 months, sometimes when i would go use the bathroom, blood and mucus come out instead of stools. When i do have stools, there are times most of of them are covered in blood...i would also have clots too. I went to the doctor and they told me it was colitis and would clear up in a few weeks and its been two months now and it hasn't gone anywhere. They gave me an antibiotic at first and it didn't work so they put me on flagyl 250mg which made matters worse.around my eyes are becoming dark like i'm unhealthy. Could i possible have something else?
