Hmmm... I never knew that Erythema Nodosum is a sign of celiac disease. I do actually have a gastroenterologist, and he does know about celiac. (Or I think he should. He is chief of gastroenterology) He tested my blood for celiac, and it was negitive. (I def. havent had a stomach biopsy. (eeks.) I have no clue if I have been tested for gluten antibodies (Is this different from celiac testing?). I will have to check with my dr. (Is this something the Gastro would do?) Thank you so much for your help!
