about a month ago, I had the same thing, and asked the same question on this website. I was freakin out, because I had been okay for so long, and I was thinking "great,my ibs is back and it is worse than ever".
but i went to the doctor and she said that I was the fifth person that day to come in with a stomach virus, so it was going around our area.
she instructed me to stop taking the Immodium, she said the stomach virus needs to run its course and it all needs to get out of there, so the D is actually helping you.
stick to a simple diet, rice, crackers, baby food apple sauce, and clear pedialyte.
and don't rush back into "real" food for a little while, so your stomach can readjust.
I am not sure how to exactly know if it is a virus or not, other than the fact that my Doctor knew it was going around, but if it feels different than your usual IBS, then it probably is.
