Nope, it meant squares. Here's the nutrition info on the Brown Sugar Flavor:
web page
Oat flour seems to be just ground up oatmeal. Oatmeal is one of those strange foods that are half IF and half SF. Some IBSers do just fine with oatmeal, some don't. Since the oats are ground for oat flour that means the IF is pulverized which increases the chance you'll do okay with it.
I'd worry more about the whole wheat flour - that's very tough for me to handle. Sadly, a few years ago a lot of cereal manufacturers revamped their product lines to include more whole grains which means that a number of cereals that are listed as safe one place or another on this site have been IF-ed. (This drives me crazy by the way. I don't want to have to re-read labels every time I buy a product I've bought a million times before.)
Anyhow, if this was an afternoon snack after eating breakfast and lunch, I'd say it's a good thing to at least try and see how you do with it. The oat flour would provide an SF base along with some well-processed IF and the whole wheat flour would provide the IF that can be hard to get.
However, if this is going to be the first thing you eat after fasting for most of the day, I'd try something else. A great choice would be Heather's Brown Sugar Banana Bread. It's about as safe as you can get, it's very easy to make, and it's delicious. (As I've said before, I do think you'd do much better if you could eat earlier and keep eating throughout the day. I hope you get to the point where you can do that.)
