That’s the pharmaceutical version. When going organic, you gotta make compromises.

(I’m kidding. Obviously we don’t put probiotic foods up our butt, even though I do find yoghurt works great as a lubricant)

To be pedantic, if you ate it fast enough in large chunks as economists do, the inner core might survive as the outer core dissolves at some rate (faster rate but thicker shell to compensate compared to the pharmaceuticals).

Just in case anyone ever needs to DIY a stool transplant, double encapsulation with inner gelatin and outer enteric coated capsules works. Do a colonoscopy prep the previous day and try to take repeat doses throughout several days and in between meals rather than all at once.
