Just want to add an anecdote to the gluten/uveitis link.

I had 5 cornea transplants in 1996 and have battled chronic corneal  
rejection and uveitis ever since.

Last year I was diagnosed with CD and went GF (and CF) in February of  
last year. Within a month all inflammation had reduced and I did not  
have any rejection or uveitis until this week.

This weekend I  put the wrong egg replacer in my breads and  glutened  
my entire family. Within a day of eating four slices of the offending  
bread I have full blown rejection and uveitis again.

While not proof that eating gluten as a celiac causes uveitis, the  
link is strong enough to convince me that gluten is at the root of my  
eye problems.
