Dr. Steven Brown answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Not typically: Gi problems can result from Remicade (infliximab) but typically are constipation, possible liver disfunction or infection related. Studies done show no difference in incidence of diarrhea between Remicade (infliximab) and placebo.
