Never heard of any concern. Why do you ask? I know that grapefruit does interact with certain meds, but I believe it's oral meds that go through the stomach. I think you'll have to contact your GI for an official answer.

No studies have been done about food & Humira. Like 73 said, since this is a concern ask your dr.

Thanks! Apparently grapefruit IS ok so I had one - I know it does magnify the effect of prednisone so thats why I wasn't sure. Thanks again.
