Biphasic Diet Restrictive Phase

If you are new here, I recently was diagnosed with SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) and I’m following the biphasic/low FODMAP diet. I talk more about my symptoms leading up to my diagnosis in my blog post More Than Just Celiac Disease. The purpose of the biphasic diet is to manage and kill off the bacteria that are causing the unpleasant symptoms. This Ginger Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry is compliant with the restrictive phase of the diet. If you aren’t following the diet and don’t need to worry about triggering the bugs, feel free to be more flexible with the amount of veggies you add.

Diversifying the Gut Microbiome

Eating a variety of plant-based foods increases the diversity of the microbiome. The more diverse the microbiome, the easier it is to digest the food you eat. That’s why this Ginger Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry has so many vegetables in it. In my experience, stir fry recipes are the easiest way to get a good variety of vegetables. Plus, they are easy to customize to your personal taste preferences. For example, if there is something in this recipe that you don’t like or doesn’t sit well with your stomach, just simply leave it out. On the flip side, it’s easy to add additional veggies if you wish.

Steps for Cooking Ginger Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry

• Step One: Cut the chicken into cube sized pieces and place in the skillet. Cook on medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
• Step Two: While the chicken is cooking, cut the broccoli, asparagus, peppers, cabbage, red cabbage and celery. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the skillet with the vegetables and cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes.
• Step Three: Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Continue to cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and cauliflower rice to the skillet and continue to cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

This has been my go-to recipe while following the biphasic diet because it’s delicious and so easy to make! Let me know if you make this Ginger Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry by tagging me on Instagram @theglutenfreegrasses or by leaving a comment below!
