Another name for bloat/gastric torsion is gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV). It occurs when the stomach twist trapping air and gases and blocking them from escaping. THIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY MOST OFTEN REQUIRING IMMEDIATE SURGERY. Please see our article "Stomach Torsion and Bloat" for further information.
