Processed bran is unprocessed bran that has been subject to a short cooking process known as extrusion by which the bran is subject to a temperature of 120 degree C and at a pressure of 5.9 MPa. Processed bran is commonly used in food items such as snacks, bread products, breakfast items to make them more digestible. The extrusion process usually renders processed bran with less dietary fiber than unprocessed bran.
One is wheat, the other oat. They are both the outside of the kernel and I would think could be exchanged for each other in most recipes.
Unprocessed bran is not the same as oat bran; it would be referring to wheat bran. Have you checked at a health food store? They will definitely carry it. As far as subbing the oat bran, it would depend on the recipe.

Yes, wheat bran is okay for fibroid patients to eat. Wheat bran is full of vitamin E.
Not normally. Bran flakes are usually made from wheat bran and wheat flour to bind the bran into a flake.
As long as you crushed or ground the flakes so that you had close to the same volume.
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
cereals contain three major components: bran endosperm, and germ. Wheat bran comes from the bran or outer covering of a wheat kernel which is high in protein and fiber.
