I've just returned from the celiac conference in Baltimore and one of the
doctors who lectured showed a slide with a list of related diseases.
Sjogren's Syndrome was on that list.  If you contact Dr Joseph Murray at
the University of Iowa Medical School, via this list, he can probably tell
you more, but I had no particular reason (at this time at least) to pay
attention, and remember no details.  Good luck.  Lupus, and Downs Syndrome
were on the same list.There were others - arthritis, I believe.  Hives were
mentioned a few times during the conference.
