You might not have changed your diet lately, but what about something else? Food related or not. Different coffee/tea, dairy product? Some little thing that you may have switched brands for? If not food, how about emotional or stressful situation? Lou said IBS can be aggravated by stress. Is it possible that you've had a very mild condition that has recently been touched off to a noticable level by some event? I don't even know if IBS has different levels (mild, moderate, extreme) but I'm clutching at straws, Belial. Like Lixy said...the body can't talk, but it will show you when it's happy or not.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
