The microbiota performs many activities and may influence the physiology of the host. Changing the numbers and species of gut microbiota can alter community function and interaction with the host. A limited number of probiotic bacteria is known in the art, and some association with health benefits have been documented when ingested by humans. Certain 'prebiotic' foods contain substances that promote the growth of particular bacterial strains that are thought to be beneficial to the human host. The results of clinical tests with these substances are conflicted with respect to their efficacy, and their influence on human health is generally described as being modest. Thus, there is a need for novel therapeutics that can stimulate beneficial microbiota shifts and improve human health. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention features compounds and compositions comprising a microbiome regulator and methods thereof to treat and prevent various diseases, disorders, or conditions. In one aspect, the present invention features a dosage form comprising a composition comprising a microbiome regulator wherein the dosage form targets the release of the composition substantially in the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., the stomach, small intestine and large intestine). In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises a sugar, a sugar alcohol, an amino acid, a peptide, a micronutrient, a fatty acid, or a polyphenol. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises at least two microbiome regulators (e.g., a sugar, a sugar alcohol, an amino acid, a peptide, a micronutrient, a fatty acid, or a polyphenol). In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises at least three microbiome regulators (e.g., a sugar, a sugar alcohol, an amino acid, a peptide, a micronutrient, a fatty acid, or a polyphenol). In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises a sugar or sugar alcohol. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises a sugar or sugar alcohol that is metabolizable by the host. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises a sugar or sugar alcohol that is non-metabolizable by the host. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises a monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide, or pentasaccharide. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises a monosaccharide. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises a disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide, or pentasaccharide. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises a disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide, or pentasaccharide, and at least one, at least two, at least three, at least four, or more of the glycosidic bonds independently comprise a l->2 glycosidic bond, a l->3 glycosidic bond, a l->4 glycosidic bond, or a l->6 glycosidic bond. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises a disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide, or pentasaccharide, and at least one, at least two, at least three, at least four, or more of the glycosidic bonds are present in the alpha or beta configuration. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises glucose, galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, sucrose, sorbose, lactose, sorbitol, maltose, mannitol, lactulose, lactitol, erythritol, tagatose, kojibiose, nigerose, isomaltose, trehalose, sophorose, laminaribiose, gentiobiose, turanose, maltulose, palatinose, gentiobiulose, mannobiose, melibiulose, rutinulose, or xylobiose. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, sucrose, sorbose, lactose, sorbitol, maltose, mannitol, lactulose, lactitol, erythritol, tagatose, kojibiose, nigerose, isomaltose, trehalose, sophorose, laminaribiose, gentiobiose, turanose, maltulose, palatinose, gentiobiulose, mannobiose, melibiulose, rutinulose, or xylobiose. In some embodiments, the the sugar or sugar alcohol does not comprise glucose. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol comprises glucose, galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, sucrose, lactose, sorbitol, or maltose. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol is galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, sucrose, lactose, sorbitol, or maltose. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol is metabolizable by the host and comprises glucose, galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, ribose, sucrose, lactose, sorbitol, maltose, mannitol, or erythritol. In some embodiments, the sugar or sugar alcohol is metabolizable by the host and comprises galactose, fructose, fucose, mannose, xylose, ribose, sucrose, lactose, sorbitol, maltose, mannitol, or erythritol. In some embodiments, the composition comprises more than about 50% (w/w) of a sugar or sugar alcohol (e.g., more than about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more). In some embodiments, the composition comprises more than about 50% (w/w) of a sugar or sugar alcohol (e.g., more than about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more) that is metabolizable by the host. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises glucose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises galactose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises fucose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises fructose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises mannose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises xylose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises arabinose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises rhamnose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises sucrose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises lactose. In some embodiments, the microbiome regulator comprises maltose.
