Hello. I am sorry that Luna is having some abnormal poops. If she ate the paper on Wednesday and has been eating and pooping since then, she is unlikely to be blocked. She could however have a gastritis from eating the muffin, or something else. I would suggest keeping a close eye on her eating and pooping, and feed a bland diet of boneless/skinless/boiled chicken breasts and boiled rice in small frequent meals. If she stays happy and is eating and pooping, the diarrhea should clear up on it's own. If she becomes tired, vomits, or stops eating, then I would take her to the vet right away. Good luck with Luna.
