Is breast Implant complication/cancer related to celiac disease?

Angelforever2
I am a 29 years old, got textured implants in dec 2014. I have celiac and read about 2 women who got ALCL had implants and celiac and worried that maybe now celiac is related, and women with implans and celiac have a higher risk of ALCL, although this is not mentioned. maybe celiac is common so this is just a coincidence. Is it possible that celiac and breast implant associated ALCL are related ? I am worried sick, is it worth removing my implants ?
