Description
This dataset was collected as part of my PhD thesis ‘An exploration of the prebiotic concept: from food matrix to mood state’. The principle point of interest in this follow-up analysis to the EFFICAD trial was to identify differences in microbial responses between non-responders and responders to 2’fucosyllactose supplementation, along with exploring potential differences in gastrointestinal sensation, bowel habits and mood state between non-responders and responders. This dataset contains the individual level participant bacterial load and composition, gastrointestinal sensation and bowel habit, and mood state data collected throughout the course of the five-week intervention segregated by responder status, along with a separate zip file containing all original 16S rRNA sequencing reads.
