This can be very serious, a life-threatening emergency. Since she is prone to bloating, I would do preventative gastropexy if she were my dog. This will prevent the torsion, twisting. Gas-X can prevent the gas formation, I am not sure whether long-term use is acceptable and whether it has long term side effects. Also, not sure whether the efficiency remains with daily use.
