In brief:
See a GI doctor
These types of symptoms can be part of irritable bowel syndrome, crohn disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, etc.
Diarrhea, constipation, blood in the stool, cramping, etc, are all things you should be prepared to tell the GI doctor -- who will probably do a colonoscopy/endoscopy, depending on your age, and other symptoms.
