IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"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!

Whether it's safe just depends on your own tolerance. When I first started on the EFI Diet I couldn't tolerate any whole grains but I do a little better with them now. You can certainly sub regular flour for the whole wheat. Or if you're trying to get more IF into your diet but feel unsure how much you can handle, try mostly regular flour and just a little whole wheat flour and see how you do.
This recipe looks like another Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on the Board and that older one has a discussion of flours and oils and fat content and so on that should be helpful.

I just wanted to post that I made these cookies gluten free last night and they came out really really good - I've never had luck with gf cookies before! They are an amazing texture - crisp on the edges, nice and chewy in the middle!
If anyone is interested in my substitutions, here they are:
Instead of 2 1/2 cups flour, I used 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1 cup brown rice flour (could use white rice instead) and 1/2 cup potato starch.
I increased the baking soda to 1 1/2 tsp.
I added 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum.
I baked for 10 minutes instead of 8.
I have to say, I've never used corn syrup in cookies before, but it does wonders for binding gluten free flours together! There was no crumbling or grittiness!

The Ghiradelli are fine ingredient-wise - no dairy - but they are high in fat so watch your quantity.

Any Subs for the corn syrup? Like can you use canola oil or 2 1/2 tbsp Smart Balance Light instead?? Im trying to use ingredients I have here as I have a CRAVING NOW  LOL... And I would just use also reg flour so 2 & 1/2 cups flour and that would work right?

Corn syrup isn't a fat so I'd do something like replace the 2-1/2 Tablespoons of corn syrup with 2 Tablespoons granulated (regular white) sugar and 1 Tablespoon water. I'm basing this on a recipe I found to make a corn syrup substitute.
Yes, if you want to use all regular flour use 2-1/2 cups of it.
