I am also curious about that as well. How many strains of beneficial bacteria are in feces? The probiotics I use have 20 beneficial strains but the company won't send me a non-capsule pack of the powder. They also have one with 36 strains, 120 billion CFU so it takes a lot of capsules to get a meaningful amount and takes a long time to open all the capsules.

Based on my limited research it appears stool has about 100 billion per gram of wet stool but it also contains a lot of other material some of which may be harmful.
