Wheat bran - this is part of what is taken out of wheat to make it not "whole" - bran is super-IF and in this cereal it's the first ingredient so that means there's more of that than of anything else. This would probably be too much first thing in the morning.
soy grits, rice, wheat gluten, soybean, oil - probably OK although I've never heard of "soy grits" - sounds interesting
whole grain wheat - sounds like whole wheat to me so that's IF
soy protein isolate, sugar, salt, hfcs (OH...MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM?) - maybe but it's pretty far down the ingredient list and HFCS isn't intrinsically IBS-evil, it's just that fructose can be de-stabilizing
malt flavor, natural and artificial flavor, ascorbic acid, sucralose - Oh, no! Splenda! Artificial sweeteners can be really hard on IBSers.
alpha tocopherol acetate, reduced iron, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrocholoride, riboflavin, thiamin hydrochloride, vit. A palmitate, folic acid, and vit. B12- a little chem lab in your mouth but I don't see anything that's immediately obviously IBS-bad
If you really want to get some whole grain with breakfast, you could try mixing an SF cereal with a little IF cereal, like Rice Chex with some granola or any commercial high IF cereal (that doesn't have an artificial sweetener in it)
