The consistencies for the bowel movements depends on the speed of the peristalsis

(the rate of speed that food is pushed through the bowel system). If a person has diarrhea, the food will move very quickly therefore causing less for the food and nutrients to be removed. So that will cause the stool to be very liquid.

You could have a pencil thin bowel movement if you have colon problems. There is something restrictive in your colon or anus.
