The parents will have four group sessions with a nutritional therapist, where in depth advice and information about the diet will be provided. Ongoing support will also be provided throughout the study by use of a closed Facebook or WhatsApp group (whichever the parents choose as most appropriate). The diet is based on five main principles: * Eat at least seven portions of different varieties of fruit and vegetables each day. * Have a 12 hour overnight break from food (water only during this time). * Drink a Kefir drink each day - provided free of charge. * Eat a microbiome friendly, protein rich, breakfast from our menu. * Reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners.
