UPDATE - I'm confused: Elevated food bowls & Dog Bloat?

UPDATE: Success! I followed Karen's suggestion, last night and again this morning -- first I told him to lay down then I gave him his food on the floor between his front paws. He finished his meal then got up. He did not eat quite as fast and no burping. So, no more feeding him on his elevated table.

Research is great, but when recommendations keep changing it is hard to keep up - thank goodness for Doddle Kisses and Karen!

I'm confused. I have read that feeding large dogs in elevated bowls is best for their digestion, but when Camus got sick I re-read the information on bloat and found that using elevated food bowls is one of the causes. Labradors, Goldens and Poodles are all on the list of dogs at greatest risk (deep chested dogs). Does this mean none of us should use elevated bowls for our doodles? Any thoughts or comments? Thanks
