I looked all over the place but couldn't find any reference to it specifically. Thanks for the help!

Sorry, there's not enough fiber in Farina. The one I 'googled' looks like this (and only has 2g of fiber per serving):



Here are the Phase 2 cereal guidelines:


Cereal Guidelines -


Cereals (hot and cold): Phase 2


There are several good cold cereals you can have. Cereals with 3.0 grams- 4.9 grams of fiber per serving are considered "good" fiber choices. Those with 5.0 grams or more per serving are considered "high" sources of fiber. A serving size is one ounce (30 grams). We recommend trying to find a cereal on the upper end of "good" and reaching toward "high. " Cereals are a great way to boost your intake of healthy fiber. In addition, you will want to review the sugar content of cold cereals. Try to find one with 8 or less grams of sugar per serving. With these guidelines you can probably find several healthy cereals.
