Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Severe lower left abdominal pain with tenesmus and mucus and blood in stool indicate that you have severe colitis.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get the stool and blood tests done.
Take a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics.
Take symptomatic treatment in the form of an antispasmodic.
Supportive treatment in the form of multivitamins and electrolyte solution along with plenty of oral fluids.
Take boiled and cooled water.
Homemade foods only as outside food can increase your problems.
Hopefully this will resolve you issues; if there is no complete relief within 5 days then you need a colonoscopy and additional treatment.
