What is the difference between celiac disease and coeliac disease?

What is the difference between celiac disease and coeliac disease?

The answer is that there is NO difference - same disease, same symptoms but it is spelt differently depending on the country.

In America it is spelt celiac and in England and Australia it is spelt coeliac 

There are other spelling differences in medical terminology as well eg spirochete and spirochaete; diarrhea and diarrhoea; hemoglobin and haemogloblin. just be aware when reading artilcles and posts as different people will spell the terms differently
