wheat bran?

[adenae78]

Is wheat bran ok to use? I mixed it in with my flax seed muffins.

Wheat bran is not legal until Rung 9 (Grains) of OWL.

Julie is right - wheat bran becomes 'legal' in any sort of amount larger than a couple of tablespoons once you reach the last OWL rung.

It is however allowed in small amounts on induction as an alternative to psyllium husks or ground flax (linseed in UK) under the 'constipation rule'.

12. If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.
