Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

So for the past several days one of my eyes has been particularly more red than normal. Now I know the first suggestion to come to most people's minds is that its pink eye. However, I have had pink eye/conjunctivitis many times due to the fact that I wear contacts. This is different because there is no excess mucus associated with it and it doesn't itch (two of the major symptoms). It's not really bothersome except that my eye feels somewhat uncomfortable and this morning when I woke up my eyelid felt a bit puffy and still is feeling that way. It's mostly the inner part of my eye that is the reddest. Ideas?? I checked with the school nurse, but she didn't know either. BTW, it's so great to be able to come to this forum and post questions and feel confident and comfortable that hopefully at least one other person has experienced the same thing you have or at least has advice. So thank you all for listening always
