We have tons of info on why we don't recommend Life's Abundance in The Food Group. Here's one discussion, with links to others: http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/thefoodgroup/forum/topics/life-s-...

As for what we recommend instead, we also have a detailed list of Recommended Brands in The Food Group:

Probiotics are the good bacteria that are necessary for proper digestive health and stool formation. That's the "active cultures" in yogurt, and you can also buy probiotic capsules and supplements. 

Again, I doubt that any food, including tomatoes, would account for bloody diarrhea. Diarrhea, possibly, but not for an extended period of time, and not blood in the stool either.
