Hi,
Bowel inflammation usually does not give frequent bladder infection, unless a colon loop is inflammed and irritating bladder directly, which is very rare.
Bladder infection with blood in urine is systemic issue of urinary infection from variety of causes, constipation is part of systemic effect of UTI as bacteria affect intestine motility and gut flora mechanics as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
