Celiac disease could be a fatal disease if you didn't have any treatment. Usually now no one dies because of it since we have treatment. But, 10,000 years ago in the Middle East people and children would die from Celiac. They didn't know why their stomach was acting abnormally and there was no treatment. It was said that people with this disease lived a short, miserable life.
