Answer 1

I am so sorry that is not a fun thing to have. I too have ibs so I can relate. Here is what I found on the net.

What happens to people with celiac disease?
Celiac disease can cause different problems at different times:

An infant with celiac disease may have abdominal pain and diarrhea (even bloody diarrhea), and may fail to grow and gain weight.
A young child may have abdominal pain with nausea and lack of appetite, anemia (not enough iron in the blood), mouth sores and allergic dermatitis (skin rash).
A child could be irritable, fretful, emotionally withdrawn or excessively dependent.
In later stages, a child may become malnourished, with or without vomiting and diarrhea. This would cause the child to have a large tummy, thin thigh muscles and flat buttocks.
Teenagers may hit puberty late and be short. Celiac disease might cause some hair loss (a condition called alopecia areata).

I hope it all works out for you.

Answer 2

Damage to the small intestine and the resulting nutrient absorption problems put a person with celiac disease at risk for malnutrition and anemia as well as several diseases and health problems.

Lymphoma and adenocarcinoma are cancers that can develop in the intestine.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak, brittle, and prone to breaking. Poor calcium absorption contributes to osteoporosis.
Miscarriage and congenital malformation of the baby, such as neural tube defects, are risks for pregnant women with untreated celiac disease because of nutrient absorption problems.
Short stature refers to being significantly under-the-average height. Short stature results when childhood celiac disease prevents nutrient absorption during the years when nutrition is critical to a child's normal growth and development. Children who are diagnosed and treated before their growth stops may have a catch-up period.
