Your plan is so much like mine! I think you should make sure to have a totally off day once a week and on your run/walk days I would maybe do stomach crunches but nothing else. Just make sure to increase your run/walk in difficulty (more running and more hills). The exercise ball is surprisingly hard I find. I get pretty sweaty doing it.
I'll tell you my routine since I said it was so close. I do weights/ball/bands/Roman chair 3 times a week for about 45-50 min and then if it is a non-work day (I walk for work) then I do 10 min jogging on the treadmill. Then the other 3 days or so a week I do biking in summer and bike or treadmill alternating in winter. I bike 12 miles most days and 20 miles Sundays. It takes 50 or 80 min. I don't always get to do these things both 3 times a week because on long work days I am too tired to workout in addition to work. I bought a book with ball exercises which is great. I also hoped to add swimming but haven't been able to. I usually don't have a completely off day but I figure a shorter work day is an off exercise day.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
