Hi,
The "normal" consistency is liquid which splats all over the place. The frequency is different for me because I have slow motility/IBS. 20 years ago I use go 1-2x daily. I've had anal dilitations and now go about 5x daily. Thats around the normal. You can change your consistency by using probiotics. I use PB 8 and it causes mine to thicken and sometimes actually form.
