I know the whole subject is a bit gross but there is a new twist to going d.i.y.

This paper http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1916296 proposes the use of frozen capsules.

I've done a fair bit of research into it and, by all accounts it looks like using frozen samples works just as well as the fresh product. With a capsule filling kit, it wouldn't be too difficult to make frozen capsules from regular gel capsules, no worries about fluid leaking if you swallow them straight from the freezer. Just double encapsulate them to be on the safe side and with the proviso that stomach motility isn't an issue to contend with.
