Wheat Bran and the Gluten Free Diet

Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel that is separated during the milling process. It is rich in dietary fiber, particularly insoluble fiber, and is often used to improve digestive health and regularity. Due to its fiber content, wheat bran is commonly added to cereals, baked goods, and dietary supplements. However, it is important to note that wheat bran is high in FODMAPs, which are certain types of carbohydrates that can cause digestive issues in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other functional gut disorders.
