Over the years, one of the most common questions❓ I encounter, whether from family members researching gluten-free living online or from people newly diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, is: What is the difference between Coeliac and Celiac?
At first glance🔍, the primary difference between ‘celiac’ and ‘coeliac’ is their spelling. Digging a little deeper, though, you’ll find their origins are just as distinct. ‘Coeliac’ is favored in European countries like England, while ‘Celiac’ has found its home across the pond in America. The word Celiac being a simplification of Coeliac.
However, it is crucial to note that there is no medical🏥 distinction between the two.
