One thing I did not see in the other posts was that you might try encouraging your niece to get her children's medicines on track by getting her to realize it will improve HER quality of life. I certainly was much happier when my son was diagnosed at 2 months; prior to enzymes he was constantly hungry because everything went right through or right back up and my spouse and I were in constant agony about it - not to mention constant clean-up mode. Within a week of starting enzymes he was actually able to spend some time in clean diapers/clothes and we benefited right along with him.
Although I certainly empathize with the desire to hide under a rock and pretend it's not happening and understand how the presence of all the medicines is a painful multiple-times-per-day reminder that life is imperfect, I also think it might be dangerously close to neglect if she's knowingly failing to provide her children with presecribed medicines.
