Two different things, frequently seen together.
A simplified explanation:
Bloat occurs with or without torsion.  It is a filling up of the stomach with 
gas.  Torsion is the twisting/turning of any organ. Stomach bloating with 
ensuing torsion is called gastric dilatation with volvulus.

Gastric Torsion is the stomach twisting; Splenic Torsion is the Spleen twisting.

It is much easier to handle Bloat, as surgery is not necessary.

Just my experience.

I have always thought that torsion would be best describing torsion of the 
spleen or stomach.  Bloat would not necessarily need torsion of the stomach.
So I used these words specifically torsion for spleen and bloat for stomach?

Thoughts please...
