Not likely that severe unless the disease went misdiagnosed for a long, long time and one developed Lymphoma as a result (the risk of Lymphoma is significantly higher in untreated Celiac disease, but this risk returns to normal if one eats a strictly gluten-free diet)...
If one has Celiac disease, the immune system attacks healthy cells when it sees gluten. This means no gluten is ever safe for a person with Celiac to eat.
