So I know the different types of bloat and what actually causes those types, but I wondered with static bloat, could it ever be caused by gulping down lots of air while drinking/eating?
Bloat as a result of GI tract 'shut down' is usually caused by the build up of gas within the intestines as a direct result of fermentation of gut contents and GI tract shut down.
If it is not an obstructive bloat, which often presents as an acute condition, then it is more likely that GI tract hypomotility is the predisposing cause, rather than 'gulping down air' whilst eating or drinking xx
