Or, how about this....
As dogs age and muscles stretch, ligaments get loose,  etc., could it be that 
sometimes it's actually the same (from the esophagus)  that can lead to bloat 
in an older dog????

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............
Thats interesting...my vet sees it in alot of old dogs...all different 
breeds...he 
feels its the ligamentation and muscles that hold the stomach in 
place...nothing to do with the esophagus.  He feels due to years of eating dry 
food and 
the expanding and contracting of the stomach the muscles and ligaments 
loosen...I could be wrong but I cant really see how the esophagus could cause 
bloat...its basically a tube leading to the stomach.
I know it twists but thats due to the stomach flipping.
