Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Yes, there is a possible connection. Conjunctivitis can sometimes associate inflammatory bowels disease (like Crohns disease). Crohns disease can give abdominal pain as well as loose stools, diarrhea, weight loss, blood and mucus in stool, bloating.
If you have also mentioned above symptoms, I suggest you to consult gastrologist. To diagnose Crohns disease, colonoscopy is necessary with biopsy.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
