What's The Difference Between Coeliac and Celiac? Are They The Same?
The Great Debate....Coeliac? Or Celiac Disease?
Alright, folks, buckle up because today we're diving headfirst into the weird world of coeliac and celiac disease, and spoiler alert: they're the same thing!
It's like the great "color" vs. "colour" debate, but with fewer syllables and way more gluten-free drama.
The Battle Of The Spellings!!!
First off, let's address the elephant in the room – the spelling debate.
Seriously, it's enough to give any Scrabble player a migraine.
But guess what? These are just different spellings on either side of the Atlantic.
It's like having a first name that's Bob in the US and Rob in the UK – it's still you!
Gluten Has No Borders!
Regardless of whether you spell it with an "a" or an "ae," both conditions are
gluten-related autoimmune disorders.
So, if you're coeliac in the UK and celiac in the US, you share the same "gluten-free" secret handshake.
Digestive Drama!
These conditions are notorious troublemakers when it comes to digestion.
Gluten, the sneaky culprit in both coeliac and celiac disease, wreaks havoc in the small intestine.
Its like a tiny gluten-fuelled tornado rampaging through your gut. So whether you're in London or Los Angeles, your belly is in for quite a ride.
Mysterious Symptoms!
Symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies don't really care about geography.
It's like they have a passport to any country – or any spelling – they please.
Gluten Free Journey!
When it comes to managing these conditions, the treatment is the same too – a gluten-free diet.
It's like joining an exclusive gluten-free club, where gluten-containing foods are not welcome.
You become a detective, inspecting labels like a detective hunting for clues.
Coeliac or Celiac, We Are All United By Gluten!
No matter which side of the pond you're on, whether you're a coeliac with extra vowels or a celiac with fewer, you're part of the same gluten-intolerant gang.
It's a worldwide gluten-free party, and everyone's invited!
So, there you have it, the hilarious tale of coeliac and celiac disease.
Two spellings, one shared enemy, and a whole lot of gluten-free humour.
So, let's put the spelling saga to rest, shall we?
And remember, no matter how you spell it, what matters most is understanding the condition and managing it like the gluten-conquering champ you are!
Cheers to a life less "glutened," whether you're a "coeliac" or a "celiac"!
A Word From Tricia...
I know having Coeliac, Celiac disease is scary, and you have probably felt unwell for long time. You are probably unsure of how to go about a gluten free diet and anxious about getting it wrong.
I don't want you to worry, you will be fine! Believe me, as you start to feel better you will be so glad that you got this diagnosis.
If you would like to be able to read labels and check for gluten then I have put together a free video explaining:
