celiac
This term is used both as a medical descriptor and as a personal identifier. When used as an adjective, it specifically modifies medical conditions or patients, maintaining a clinical and neutral tone. When used as a noun, it serves as a shorthand for "a person with celiac disease," which is common in both medical and social contexts to describe dietary requirements.
In North American English, the spelling "celiac" is standard, whereas British English typically uses "coeliac." The noun form is countable, referring to individuals, while the adjective form remains invariant.
