Bowel frequency  in america varies from 3 movements daily to 1 every three to four days. Much of this variablity is dependent on colonic transit. As measured by sitz marker study (a capsule that releases 24 plastic rings in the stomach that then are recorded by x-ray as they move forward in the gut), normal evacuation is defined as >80% rings defecated by 5 days after sitz marker ingestion.

Chronic Diarrhea can be a problem. It is important that you have a stool culture to determine if you have a chronic infection such as giardia which can be easily treated with medication. Talk to your primary care provider and have a thorough exam and testing. You can also discuss the effect of any meds that you are taking.

This is due to constipation.  A laxative promoting diet is very helpful (things with water insoluble fiber), prunes, apricot nectar are a big a help, and a daily laxative likely is needed.

I wouldn't blame ketchup but can't be sure about tomatoes. Hemorrhoids cause bright red blood. This doesn't sound serious, however your physician can do a simple test on your stool to check for blood if you still have concerns.
