Is Chronic Diarrhea And High ANA Titre Values Interlinked?

The back of my left thigh was very itchy couple days ago...now.it is covered in bruises. I have also had chronic diarrhea for the last month and an unexplained high ANA titer-although it is over 900 homogenous my doctor does not feel it is lupus. Is it possible these symptoms are connected?
