Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Okay, now I'm confused about Honeycomb cereal. Help?! (m)

I wrote a post yesterday in which I said eating Honeycomb cereal was a bad idea because Honeycomb contained whole grain corn flour, corn bran, and whole grain oat flour. When I wrote that, I didn't realize Honeycomb was on the "What To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything Diet" (WTEWYCEAD). So now I'm confused.

I can kind of understand that whole grain oat flour would be considered a safe ingredient, since oatmeal is on the SF list and is one of the whole grains that IBSers often seem to be able to tolerate.

I'm confused, though, about why a cereal that contains whole grain corn flour and corn bran would be considered tummy-soothing. I know corn meal is on the SF list, but I thought that was because it had been stripped of all (or almost all) of it's husk and bran (Wikipedia). It seems to me that whole grain corn flour would contain both husk and bran and corn bran is, well, bran. All that is IF, so ... help?
