Brief Answer:
Can be due to Methotrexate.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that sometimes methotrexate can lead to significant acidity and bloating . This doesnt seem likely to be because of humira . I think you should take an antacid at present and if symptoms persist get a USG abdomen done along with LFT .

Any other query please ask , I will be happy to discuss .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
