Can be normal: Your stools will be soft and bulky if you eat a ton of fiber.

Moderation: Trybto keep fluid/fiber intake constant to have regular stools daily. Better than periodically overdoing!

Soft and smushy: is good. Try taking fiber daily working toward at least 1-2 good,normal,soft and smushy BMs per day.
