Celiac disease itself doesn't directly cause cancer, but it's associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancer if not managed properly. The most common cancer associated with untreated celiac disease is intestinal lymphoma, specifically enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), which affects the small intestine. Additionally, celiac disease is linked to an increased risk of other gastrointestinal cancers such as esophageal cancer and small bowel adenocarcinoma. However, following a strict gluten-free diet can significantly reduce these risks.

yes. If the celiac diet is not properly followed, consuming gluten can severly affect your bowel. Celiac causes bowel cancer if the diet is neglected.
