"Celiac disease has a long history and too many names. It is referred to simultaneously as coeliac disease or as celiac disease, then either celiac disease or celiac sprue disease. This frustrating and mysterious conditions got its name from Greek physician Aretaeus of Cappadocia. He called it koiliakos, which is based on the word koelia (abdomen in Greek)".
Kapadoziako Aretaus sendagileak eman omen zion izena eritasunari: koiliakos, grezierazko koelia [sabelaldea] hitzean oinarrituta. Zeliakia, beraz, grezierazko koiliakos horretatik dator, eta sabelaldea esan nahi du.
Venezuelako zeliakoen webgune honetan ere aurkitu ditugu eritasunaren historiaren eta etimologiaren inguruko azalpenak.
