Dear Donna,On behalf of all our members, welcome to our Erythema Nodosum Group! Thanks for sending in your Questionnaire.

It is hard to know if any correlation exists between unhealthful eating and EN. Many of us are very careful about our food and persist in getting EN outbreaks. And there are probably millions who are not afflicted with EN who eat junk foods as a steady diet. EN has about 100 known causes or triggers, and dietary intake is not, of date, considered to be one of themexcept for several EN cases related to aspertame .However, I do feel that a person with specific food sensitivity might be more prone to EN. It's a "try it and see" approach as we all have EN for different reasons and many of us, including me, have never found the cause of our EN.
