Kelly, it could be something so simple as the fact that you didn't pay your co-pay -- and my doctor charges a surcharge for all patients who leave their office without doing so! They'd call me with the same tone in their voice if I forgot.
Truly, it could be something you can't anticipate. While it sounds trite, don't panic. It'll just make your IBS worse. Curl up in bed with a nice cup of tea and a good book, and get your mind off of it. (You might consider making that tea a little stronger..... you got any sherry?)
