Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where lower scores indicate better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
Change in Parents' Perception of Child's Health Compared to Other Children - Placebo Group Only (Within-Group Analysis)	This parameter was assessed using a parent-completed questionnaire. The parents were asked to respond to the following statement "My child seems less healthy than other children". Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where a decrease in score indicates better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the Placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
Change in Parents' Perception of Child's Immunity - Placebo Group Only (Within-Group Analysis)	This parameter was assessed using a parent-completed questionnaire. The parents were asked to respond to the following statement "When something is going around my child usually catches it". Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where a decrease in score indicates better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
Change in Parents' Worry About Child's Health - Placebo Group Only (Within-Group Analysis)	This parameter was assessed using a parent-completed questionnaire. The parents were asked to respond to the following statement "I worry more about my child's health than other parents do their children". Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where a decrease in score indicates better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
Change in Parent-reported Frequency of Child's Stomach Aches - Placebo Group Only (Within-Group Analysis)	This parameter was assessed using a parent-completed questionnaire. Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where a decrease in score indicates better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
Change in Parent-reported Frequency of Child's Difficulty Going to the Toilet - Placebo Group Only (Within-Group Analysis)	This parameter was assessed using a parent-completed questionnaire. Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale with textual anchors and transformed into a numerical scale from 1 to 5, where a decrease in score indicates better outcomes (e.g., 1 = "Never," 5 = "Always"). A decrease in the mean score is associated with improvement in this parameter. This analysis summarizes the mean score at each timepoint for the placebo group only.	Monthly from Baseline to Month 6
