Are the seemingly chaotic curves of the small intestine the same in almost everybody, like the shape of the hand, or do they follow different paths in different people?

They move around in real-time. 

The small intestine  is like a long hose but all along it’s length it is tethered on one side by the mesentery. Closest way to imagine it would be something like paper fan with the intestine along the expanded edge while the pinched ends is attached to the back. 


the small intestine under normal conditions will slither around while maintaining that arrangement and folding in general. 

So if you can take picture of them, they won’t look the same in the same person moment to moment.
