I am fairly certain that you can substitute any granola-type cereal
for the 7-grain cereal. They don't carry 7-grain where I live,
either, but the other will work fine. You can make your own granola,
too...that works nicely in bread recipes.
Incidentally, depending upon the recipe you're using, you can
purchase multi-grain (also referred to as multi-seed) mixes from
places like King Arthur (http://www.kingarthurflour.com). I've used
these in a lot of my breads and it really adds nice flavor and
texture. I have also discovered that using cracked flax seed in my
baked goods (yeast breads, muffins, etc.) is really nice.
Hope that helps,
Joan
