Most of the classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems, but Israelis who suffer from celiac found this Hebrew name offensive. For years, they refused to use it, and eventually the Academy of the Hebrew Language accepted their request and invented a new word for celiac disease \u2013 <strong>\u05d3\u05b7\u05bc\u05d2\u05b6\u05bc\u05e0\u05b6\u05ea<\/strong> (from the word <strong>\u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05d2\u05b8\u05df<\/strong>, meaning \u201cgrain\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lupus = <strong>\u05d6\u05b8\u05d0\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05ea<\/strong> (za-e-vet)<\/p>\n<p>Mumps = <strong>\u05d7\u05b7\u05d6\u05bc\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05ea<\/strong> (ha-ze-ret)<\/p>\n<p>Acne = <strong>\u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b6\u05d8\u05b6\u05ea<\/strong> (ha-te-tet)<\/p>\n<p>Jet lag = <strong>\u05d9\u05b7\u05e2\u05b6\u05e4\u05b6\u05ea<\/strong> (ya-e-fet)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Modern life requires new words.
