What happens if I don’t cure celiac disease?

Coeliac disease has no cure other than a change in diet. Once gluten is removed from the diet, the inflammation of the small intestine will cease within a few weeks.
Due to bowel damage caused by gluten, digestion of foods that do not contain it can also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some people with coeliac disease, for example, are unable to tolerate the sugar contained in milk (lactose) found in dairy products, a condition called lactose intolerance.
