I noticed my bettafishs poop looking a bitte weird. Is this a Problem or something normal? Google Image search Said it might be constipation? If that's the Case, should I Switch foods?

I don’t know 100% but it does just seem like he has a stringy poop that’s a bit stuck. Not a big deal. In this first pic it does look like his belly is a tiny bit big so maybe fast him for a day !
Just for reference I usually do one fast day a week and I feed once in the morning and once in the evening only one of these options for each meal- fluval bug bites betta formula (only 3-5 pellets at a time), freeze dried mysis shrimp (1-2x at a time), and frozen bloodworms (1-2x at a time)
This doesn’t look like poop to me it more looks like a prolapse, if it is a prolapse you can give your baby a salt bath or just unfortunately wait.
Poop from a butt
I’d just kind of wait it out. It could be poop but it looks a bit odd. Maybe you could give him a salt bath and then watch for any behavior changes. Keep the water changes up to ensure clean water.
This looks like “help I was constipated” poop. Bettas are notorious for it – why it’s recommended to fast them once a week / every 2 weeks. (I do mine every week.) Should dissolve and go to the bottom as he swims, def keep an eye on him!
