Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Thank you for posting query.

presentation of constipation followed by bloody diarrhea.
many causes for bloody diarrhea including infectious diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhoids and so on,

further evaluation is needed.
1. complete blood cell count 2. stool test / culture 3, ESR (if you have a long history of present symptoms)

you did not mention your age.
as age>55, better to visit gastroenterologist asap and he maybe adviced to undergo colonoscopy to rule out any malignant disease.

further advice:
- thrice daily , take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) ispagula with 200 to 300 mL water
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks

any further questions are welcomed.

hope to answer your concern.
