Hi!
I'm not sure I understand this very well.. don't know who Laney is.
I did find, when I gave up gluten that I craved it for a while.. a bit
like giving up smoking. But then equally, when that passes you wonder
what all the fuss was about. Now I look at bread or gluten products and
feel nothing. Don't like the taste of chocolate. Don't crave sweet
things. And I believe the reason is, apart from it being absent in my
diet...and it's reported that although our bodies tell us when to stop
when it comes to eating fats or proteins, they can't when it comes to
refined carbohydrates...cos they get confused about what's going on!
...the reason is because of my increased intake of animal
fat...unpasteurised milk and it's products, meat, eggs from worm-eating
chickens etc.
I am satiated on what looks like very little..never hungry. We really
have to throw away the old and dangerous idea of high carb, low fat
diet.
If you're interested check out this site and it's wealth of information:

If you're niece has CD...it might be worth getting checked out..it does
run in families. But be aware of false negative tests. Or you could
try experimenting...cutting out all gluten and/or cutting out all
starches and/or glucose and see how you feel. Be observant, 'listen' to
your body..it'll tell you way more than any medical investigation can.
Good luck.
