Best Answer

If you are intolerant to gluten (have Celiac Disease) and continually eat gluten, your body will not get the nutrients it needs to function. Gluten can damage your small intestine and block the proper nutrients from being absorbed into your body causing you to be malnourished. You can definitely increase the chance of shortened life span but, of course it depends upon the severity of your condition.
