        Um, I’m not really that up for the bum stuff. Butt I am intrigued by this gut flora exchange party especially if it doesn’t involve eating literal shit and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

          Gut flora suppositories are a thing, and have been since before WW2.

          Seems there was a guy in WW2 with golden guts, who survived the trenches and bad food, dysentery and such unscathed. Doctors then took samples of his gut biome and started using them to treat others who were less fortunate. Like Hitler with his life long chronic flatulence problems.

          These days you can take a simple pill that’s designed to open up once it reaches the large intestine the long way, rather than the shortcut. It’s sold under the brand name Mutaflor, but it’s the same stuff, just freeze dried and encapsulated for oral consumption.

      To be fair it would probably shoot right across the floor and someone would slip on it and shoot it right out the door.
