IBS is short for irritable bowel syndrome. The disorder comes with frequent bowel movements that can make you cancel plans more than once. Seriously, can you attend night parties if you frequently make toilet runs?

Regular Leg Numbness

People suffering from IBS are more likely to experience leg numbness. This affects walking, especially if the person sits in one place for a long time.
