Immune system disturbances in Coeliac Disease.

New research has identified four aspects of immune system disturbances which lead to the development of coeliac disease. Nearly forty different inherent risk factors have now been identified.
The latest findings could speed the way to improved diagnostic treatments for this complaint that affects 1 in 100 of the population and leads to insights into related conditions such as Type 1 diabetes. (Rheumatoid arthritis is also mentioned).

I've seen reference to coeliac disease and celiac disease, are these the same thing or something different?
 
There the same thing, Coeliac is the prefered english spelling and Celiac is the american spelling. Having a son who has both T1 and Coeliac Disease, i can tell you it's no fun juggling them both.
