Hmmm.  Irritable Bowel Syndrome is generally not a temporary or occasional condition, so that would not be my first thought.  Initially I would consider whether or not you ate a diet highish in fibre.  If not, I would imagine mere constipation could be at fault, and would suggest eating, to get things started, an apple and several hands-full of pretzels washed down with several cups of water.  That has, believe it or don't, a fairly good laxative effect.  Then, if that works and ameliorates this pain, and you have good output, I would say you should put more fibre in your diet as a natural course.
If the pain persists, or if the pretzels don't work, especially if you have any bloating, and little or no output, seek medical care at once as you  may have intestinal blockage.  This is not something to let alone for long.  See if the apple and pretzels help and, if not, get thee to a doctor at once.
Hope you feel better soon.

You could be dehydrated. Were you drinking alcohol.
