What Causes Blood In Stools?

I have noticed blood on my stool but I also notice holes or air pockets in my stool as well. My stools also change consistency frequently along with the diameter. Any help would be greatful. Both my children have FAP and have had colectomies. And no they are not twins they are 19mths apart. My dads side of the family does have leukemia and lymphoma.
