thanks for your replies... I have actually bought the sugar short with a scooped belly and I'm happier in it. I have heard other psople suggest the bib shorts too... maybe I'll try that. As for the ticker... suppose I'll take that up with my doc next time I see her... though with the running and other aerobic stuff I do, I don't think it's the heart. Though, never can be too careful (you know when it comes to the possibility of death)... so I'll ask my doc. Thanks!

Yep, I'm a big fan of the Sugar shorts, Sugar knicker are both very comfy with the scooped front. I wish they didn't have the big diaper chamois, but... oh well.

Interesting. It's odd though that when it happened both times to me I was working out hard but my heart was not racing or pounding too much. Originally Posted by Dianyla

Our bodies are mysterious...
I do agree that scoop front shorts are GREAT.

I'm not sure if your problem is related to food, but when I first started riding I had a really hard time eating anything during my rides because I'd get terrible gut aches. I never had that problem eating gels etc. while xc skiing, so I assume it has to do with the crunched over position on the bike.
All I can say is that it seemed to get better the more I rode, and eventually my body got somewhat used to it. Though I still sometimes get it once in awhile.
I love bib shorts, by the way. I hate to have anything constricting on the belly
