Thank you both Will add referral to dietician Carr - thanks. Also suggested counselling for stress management to him - but language may be a problem. Sandra - I agree, however as the FSA (in document attached) say best practice is still to exclude, and even though gent feels he would know the difference if he was to suddenly have an infection, the risk to the Business remains too high - their decision I know, just seems unfair.
