I suddenly can't digest peppers

I'm 35 and I've been eating peppers all my life. In the past year, every time I eat any kind of pepper, bell pepper, jalepeno, even paprika, I will get diarrhea the next day. Why would I suddenly be unable to tolerate peppers? Are there long term consequences to continuously aggravating the bowels in this way, such as increased risk of cancer? Can anything be down to correct the issue?
