Have you ever played a game of, “Which would you rather?” Generally, it’s a pub-style game where you’re given two ridiculous options to choose between. “Would you rather be set upon by a tiger or swallowed whole by a snake?”. “Would you rather have a big head or one leg shorter than the other?” And if you’re with persistent playmates, they’ll force you to make a decision.
Sometimes I feel like playing the game with coeliac disease. Would I rather have it than…(insert other disease or condition). For me, the answer is always a resounding no. But is it because I don’t think being coeliac is that big a deal? Or is it more a case of ‘better the devil you know’?
