Data regarding the use of a dietary intervention designed to manipulate gut bacteria, <i>The Gut Makeover</i>. This dietary protocol has been published in the UK and is due to be published in the US in 2017. This is the first research study, to our knowledge, to assess the program in terms of any benefits it may have to general health. Physical and emotional well-being were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Medical Symptoms Questionnaire; we report rapid, extensive, high-magnitude reductions in medical symptoms over this four-week time period. Before and after measurements are available for 21 participants on the following sub-scales: Total medical symptom score, head symptoms, eye symptoms, nose symptoms, skin symptoms, heart symptoms, digestive symptoms, joint and muscle symptoms, weight symptoms, energy symptoms, mind symptoms and emotion symptoms.

本数据集涉及一项旨在调控肠道菌群的膳食干预方案——《肠道重塑》（*The Gut Makeover*）。该膳食方案已在英国出版，并计划于2017年在美国发行。据我们所知，本研究是首个针对该方案对总体健康的潜在益处展开评估的科研项目。研究采用《医学症状问卷》（Medical Symptoms Questionnaire）对干预前后的躯体与情绪健康状况进行评估；结果显示，在为期四周的干预周期内，受试者的医学症状出现了快速、广泛且程度显著的缓解。21名受试者的以下分量表均配有干预前后的配对测量数据：医学症状总评分、头部症状、眼部症状、鼻部症状、皮肤症状、心脏症状、消化症状、关节与肌肉症状、体重相关症状、精力症状、精神症状以及情绪症状。
