She needs a doctor: Unfortunately, food or cheese will not improve bowels that are "pure blood." she could have a bleeding hemorrhoid, in which case keeping stools soft and hydrated may help. The more worrisome possible causes are farther up in the bowel, and do need to be investigated by a physician as soon as possible. Sorry.

Bloody stool: Blood diarrhea or free flowing rectal bleeding needs to be evaluated asap.
