Even though peanut allergy is not an infectious, communicable disease,
peanut allergy has been transferred from organ donor to recipient in at
least two recorded cases. One case involved transplant of a liver; the
other a kidney. Until more research is done, one can only guess how this
relates to celiac disease. (???) Here is a link to one of several articles
about this topic on the web:

If this link doesn't work, do a Google search for "peanut allergy + liver
transplant."
