I and various other family members discovered the hard way that frozen > defrosted bread led to serious stomach discomfort — apparently because of the changes that happen to the starches when they're frozen. They change from their normal state into a 'resistant' starch, which can cause you problems if you have a tendency towards something like IBS. Here's one BBC article that mentions it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4DfZMpv7BYJ3kGXdHxdxkKp/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-carbs https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4DfZMpv7BYJ3kGXdHx... "Freezing turns starch into resistant starch... this means that your body gets far fewer calories from the bread. In effect, the resistant starch feeds your gut bacteria, rather than feeding you."
