The normal frequency of bowel movement varies a great deal from individual to individual. It can be as often as several times a day to once in 2 weeks. This is why a change of frequency is more important to a doctor than the actual frequency.
The timing of stool passage is partly a matter of habit. We tend to pass motion when we are relaxed. There is also an increased desire to defecate when there is food in the stomach, so we tend to pass motion after a meal.
Bowel habit is dependent largely on diet. If one eats a lot of fiber than one will pass motion more often. It is also related to water intake. If one takes insufficient fluids, one is more prone to constipation.
The body has a reflex known as the gastrocolic reflex. When a person eats and food enters the stomach, it sends a signal to the large intestine to pass motion soon after. That is why most people go to the toilet after a meal. Bowel habits can also be trained.

symptomsDiarrhea Abdominal cramps and pain Dysentery : blood and mucus in the stool Tenderness along the large intestine Complications Diarrhea and abdominal pain set in within 2-6 weeks of Amebiasis. This leaves residue of abdominal cramps and recurrent 'mucusy' stools called as Chronic Amebic Colitis. Amebiasis can cause Hepatitis once its affect the liver.
diagnosisUsually, a series of three stool samples will be checked in the laboratory for the presence of E. histolytica. In many cases, this stool test can confirm the diagnosis. Several different blood tests that can make a diagnosis with a high degree of accuracy are also available. In special cases, when the diagnosis is not clear after stool and blood tests, proctosigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy may be needed to allow your doctor to examine the intestinal wall directly and to take tissue samples for laboratory examination. In these tests, a doctor inserts a thin, lighted instrument into the rectum and colon to view them directly.
When symptoms of fever and abdominal pain, especially on the right upper side, suggest a possible liver abscess, you may need an ultrasound or CT scan of the liver. Because people who have a liver abscess but no longer have parasites in the intestines, stool tests may be less helpful. In these situations, doctors confirm the diagnosis with a blood test or a needle aspiration or biopsy. In a needle aspiration or biopsy, a small piece of tissue from the abscess is removed and examined in a laboratory
Treatment of Amebiasis Amebicides like Metronidazole, Tinidazole Severe dysentry may lead to hospitalisation for IV fluids and Metronidazole.but as told earlier try ayurvedic treatment,

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder which can cause troublesome and persistent symptoms. The symptoms appear to be due to an increased sensitivity of the bowel, which results in spasm of the bowel muscle. These vary greatly from person to person, but usually include cramping discomfort, a feeling of fullness or bloating, and a change or disruption of bowel habit. IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it does not permanently harm the intestines and does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer. This can range from constipation (difficult or infrequent passage of a motion) to diarrhoea (frequent or loose motions and an urgent need to go), or can alternate between the two.
Most people can control their symptoms with diet, stress management, and prescribed medications. IBS usually begins around age 20 and is more common in women.
The symptoms differ between patients and may vary from time to time, but all patients will have at least some of these: Alteration in bowel habit, which may be constipation, diarrhoea or an alternation between the two. Bowel habit varies enormously between individuals, though most people have their own pattern. The change in bowel habit may be in the frequency of action, the form of the motions, or associated urgency (rushing to go).
The irritable bowel syndrome is not: hereditary, food allergy, although some patients find they are intolerant of particular foods. It's not the same as inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis.
The following have been associated with a worsening of IBS symptoms: large meals, wheat, rye, barley, chocolate, milk products, alcohol, medicines, stress, conflict, emotional upsets, drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, tea, or colas.
There is no specific test for IBS, although diagnostic tests may be performed to rule out other diseases. Investigations are important to exclude other more serious bowel disorders that can produce similar symptoms to those of IBS. These tests may include stool sample testing, blood tests, x rays and endoscopy (internal examination with an instrument) may be done to exclude other digestive disease.
Fiber can be helpful because it improves how the intestines work. There are 2 types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber helps both diarrhea and constipation. Insoluble fiber may make diarrhea worse. Increase the fiber in your diet slowly.
Dairy products may seem to make IBS symptoms worse if you're lactose intolerant. So avoid it.
These can help:
Drinking plenty of water, learn to deal with stress, eat health food avoid fatty foods, eat small meals than having regular three meals a day.
Your sister seems to be affected by acute anorexia nervosa. The cause of anorexia nervosa is unknown, although it is likely that both inherent biological factors and factors in the patient's social environment play a part. The disease is mainly encountered in the western world and is more common among women in certain professions, such as models and ballet dancers. Puberty, deaths in the family and other life stresses are all believed to be potential triggers of anorexia.
Your sister is facing this problem due to some biological trigger which has to be investigated. Starting from 3 years ago, map all the incidents of her life, all changes in her life, illness any trauma etc. One of them must be a cause. Try to alter her cusine and try diffent foods apart from rice. Maybe the rice is causing adverse reaction.
In this situation, it is best to try all possible foods. The last resort is to be put on IVF supplement to keep the body replenished.
You should go for an endoscopy and go to a specialised Doctor. He will surely find out the reason. This may be die to some swelling in the intestinal lining or problem in liver.

For children, it is common for vomiting to occur from a viral infection, food poisoning, milk allergy, motion sickness, overeating or feeding, coughing, or blocked intestines and illnesses in which the child has a high fever.
