I did look at all the brands at my store the other day. I started with the low fat ones and perhaps I ended up not picking up every box.
Ok I looked on my grocery order site and found out:
the keebler premade crust is without HFCS but is too fatty. The keebler regular grahams but not honey are ok. Honey maid brand has HFCS. My store brand also has HFCS. I think all/most of the other Keebler grahams have it. I know reduced fat did because I did not buy it (I bought ginger snaps instead). Nabisco has it. I don't know if all flavors of Nabisco do though.
Conclusion: Keebler regular grahams are ok.
As to the whole wheat thing: it lists wheat flour as the first ingredient, then down the list it mentions graham flour so that would make it safe. But it has 130 cals and 3.5 grams of fat per serving. That means 24% fat.

Thanks for the info. The whole wheat further down the list should make it IBS-safe, but I tend to be very sensitive to whole wheat. On the other hand, I took another look at the label and a serving has less than 1 gram of any kind of fiber, so how bad could it be? (Famous last words.) On the other hand, I handle fat really well, so the 24% isn't a problem for me. Maybe I'll give the Keebler plain ones a try. I do miss graham crackers.

...in that if you grind them, it minimises the IF so the SF is more important (and like the crackers you just have to watch the fat)?

I know that although wholegrain (that nutty kind with bits in) bread KILLS me, I can often get away with brown (but not bitty) bread as the grains are all ground up.
