Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. It doesn't allow you to eat gluten, which is contained in wheat, barley, and rye. (So no Pizza, pasta, bread, waffles, etc. unless they are gluten free). If you do eat gluten when you have celiac, your immune system attacks your own body and destroys parts of your body that help you to absorb nutrients.

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.
