sarcoidosis part 2

Hi Everybody,
This is a continuation of sarcoidosis replies:

I had sarcoidosis shortly AFTER I was diagnosed w/ celiac. It began w/
tightness/pain in my upper back & chest, but the worst was the painful nodes
on my shins & swelling in my feets which made it impossible to walk. I was
treated w/ non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. It went away, but returned
briefly/milder about a year later. No problems for over 12 years.
I was 33 when I started the diet after yrs of malnutrition. My hormones all
readjusted--it was similar to the hormone changes in pregnancy: breast
tenderness, water retention, "loose" joints. From the info I did find at the
time, I attributed this surge/ readjustment of hormones to triggering the
sarcoidosis. There are two types--Chronic & Acute--mine was acute & resolved
itself.

Your e-mail has taken my breath away. In 1984 I was given a tentative
diagnosis of sarcoidosis, although the tests remained inconclusive. In 1987
my diagnosis was finally pinned down with a repeat bronchoscopy. The
sarcoidosis was worsening some each year (not that serious, though; I never
needed medicating, but I worried about it a lot). In 1989 I wanted to become
pregnant and got my pulmonologist's go-ahead although he monitored my
condition more frequently because pregnancy can aggravate the sarcoid. But
the
unexpected happened: I felt better pregnant than I had felt for years
and all the lung function tests showed improvement! In the
years following my daughter's birth in 1990, the sarcoidosis seemed to be
receding; two years ago the pulmonologist pronounced me in remission. It
seemed to my husband and to me that our child had given me the gift of good
health. Now here's the connection you asked about: that same child has
confirmed CD. Although we couldn't get her diagnosed until she was 3, her
symptoms started at birth (failure to thrive) and got steadily worse until
the
small bowel biopsy which changed our lives.

II haven't found anything else, but 28 articles suggests a connection.
