What Causes Constipation And Diarrhea While On Anastrozole?

I just finished radiation treatment for breast cancer. I started taking anastrozole on Tuesday but stopped after 2 days because of some reactions. (My oncologist told me to do so) For the last 4 days I feel constipated and then run to the bathroom because it feels like diarrhea immediately. Very small bowel movements and they look like there is blood and like a mucusy glob. This happens 5-7 times a day. Any ideas?
