The only thing that struck me as a potential problem is the corn bran... but even then, it might be fine for you. It's not a "trigger", it's just insoluble fiber, and some people tolerate it better than others. Unfortunately, you just never know until you try it!
If you find it gives you problems, but you really want to give it another try anyway, try having a slice of white toast beforehand, or a good dose of your SFS at the very least, to "cushion" the bran a bit more. But personally, I'd give it a shot.
