I'm just wondering, if you have celiac and continue to eat gluten, what will eventually happen?

Worst case: Worst case scenario- you can develop cancer of the lymph nodes- called a lymphoma. In lesser cases, you lose the ability to absorb nutrients, vitamins and sugar and can also develop other autoimmune diseases if celiac isnt under control.
