Can anyone tell me what could happen if a stomach infection goes untreated?

Depends: It depends on the type of infection. If it is an infection with helicobacter pylori then it can lead to development of peptic ulcers. If it's a viral infection, aka "stomach bug", then it typically goes away without treatment.
