Is This Normal - Bristol Stool Chart

Bristol Stool Chart and bowel movements - is this normal?

Is that a normal bowel movement? Am I getting enough fiber? Do I need a laxative? Dr. Didyk explains the "Bristol Stool Chart" used by nurses, doctors and researchers to describe the appearance of stool.

The green putty used in the demonstration is "Crazy Aaron's Hypercolor Thinking Putty" in Chameleon. Their website is puttyworld.com. (I have no affiliation with them, just think their putty is fun)
