Just wondering how you can have dry round bm's 1 or 2 days in a week, and then wham have a normal bm? What makes it be different one day then another? I drink 3-4 16.9 fl oz waters each day, take 2 tbs acacia fiber in the am, 1 magnesium pill every day and 1 align every other day. I eat fruit & SF and some veggies. I exercise 4-5 days a week for 30-60 minutes. Am I missing something? Of course, the round bm's only happen during the week while I am at work and I have normal bm's on the weekends.

Don't you love the way you answered yourself there! 
That's it, isn't it? The one thing that is different is the stress load . . . You actually had your own answer.

What do you eat differently during the week compared to weekends? Things like this can sometimes provide clues for improving dietary management of IBS symptoms. It could only be stress then again it might not. 
Are you normally IBS-A, IBS-C or IBS-D? It helps to put this information in your signature.

I was the same exact way. On the weekends when I knew I could relax and did not have to leave the house...guess what? no problems. As soon as Monday rolled around, I could not get out of the bathroom.
What stopped this pattern for me was the hypnosis cd's. I very seldom have any issues anymore. I just don't give it much thought. They are reasonably priced, sold right here, and they work wonders for most people.

Have to agree - for many people who have tried every single thing, and still nothing helps, they reluctantly try hypnotherapy as a last resort!
The IBS Audio Program CDs sold on this site have helped thousands of IBS patients who have failed with other treatments, medications, diets, supplements, etc. For the vast majority of those users, this has been their way forward - and most without dietary concerns as well!
So there is hope there - doesnt work for everyone - but does work for most - the key is to be patient and not give up!
This program has been discussed on the internet since about 1998, in many locations, so there are honest reviews pro and con - and of course, for any IBS treatment there are those that don't work, and there are those that have not asked for further support, or completed the program.
But like most folks, I too had to be convinced to try it! And that was back in 2000 - since then there have been over 10 years of positive feedback - and again, this is after patients who have failed with meds, supplements, etc.
Won't hurt to take a peak!
All the best - and thanks Gerikat and Bermudakate for encouraging others with your stories - it is so helpful to those who are suffering and have so much info to sort through!
