Well that's the end of my cocoa tryptophan psychedelic dosing experiment!! Creating too much Indole bacteria as a byproduct. hahaha. I really enjoyed my trippy dreams - wow so much fun. But I don't want to smell like crap all the time.
Higher coffee intake (more than 2 cups) was related to a higher relative abundance of Faecalibacterium and Alistipes...Faecalibacterium is a butyrate-producing bacterium [30] that has been shown to have positive impacts on human energy metabolism [31], and its anti-inflammatory properties have been shown [32]

the bacterium itself is a significant component of human feces, its specific smell isn't individually described as "shit-like" in most research, though it is associated with the general putrid odors produced by anaerobic fermentation. The main compound responsible for the characteristic smell of feces is indole, a metabolic product of tryptophan
cocoa contains tryptophan, which gut bacteria can break down into foul-smelling compounds likeindole and skatole (3-methylindole) that contribute to fecal odors, even though low concentrations of these compounds also give pleasant floral notes to jasmine and orange blossoms; this metabolic process explains why some chocolate can have a musty, "off" smell or why fermented cocoa can smell funky
Tryptophan gets turned into indole and indoxyl sulfate in your digestive system.) However in small concentrations, indole will smell very sweet ...

3-methyl-1H-indole -- associated with fecal and mothball odors -- are the primary contributors to the musty and moldy scents of cocoa beans.

Butyrate (butyric acid) and indole don't smell exactly the same, but they are both extremely pungent, foul-smelling organic compounds produced in the gut, often described with similar unpleasant, fecal, or fermented notes (like vomit, strong cheese, or bad socks),
