It sounds like food poisoning or water poisoning, which causeds bacterial (or parasitic) infection. Intestinal bleeding often occurs in severe infection e.g. from E. coli bacteria.
In most cases, these infections heal on its own. You should drink water to replenish lost fluid from diarrhea. If you'll get dizzy, this is a sign of dehydration, so you have to drink. If in five days symptoms won't improve, you should have a stool culture test and, if positive, treatment with antibiotics. DO NOT take antibiotics before the stool test, since this may lead to false negative results.
Try to eat, whatever you like, avoid only heavy fatty foods.
A lot of blood, high fever, profound weakness, or diarrhea > 5 days - these are reasons to see a doctor.
hello,
If you still have any of the symptoms of any blood at all in your stool you should definitely see a doctor as there is a possiblity of colon cancer. I think I have blood and maybe mucous in my stool and went today though don't have any other symptoms.
God bless,
