Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: White Whole Wheat Flour?

A little of that mixed with regular flour (usually called enriched wheat flour or something like that) can be an ok amount of SF to IF. It depends on your tolerance of IF. I find the white WW flour easier to tolerate than true WW flour, but some are very touchy with wheat. Any time the *majority* of a product is plain SF flour a little grainier flour in there may be ok.
I don't know exactly what they do to make white WW flour. WW flour has all 3 parts of the wheat head- sperm, endosperm and bran. The bran is the tough part for us. They must grind it so it becomes so fine it seems like plain flour. It is a new method I believe. It is true that eating all 3 parts is healthier but if it gives you D and you don't digest it then that isn't healthy!
Hope this makes sense. I am tired.
