This is an elegant study expanding on previous observations regarding gas trapping and digestive symptoms. Gas trapping occurs largely in the jejunum and is exacerbated by intraluminal lipid infusion particularly into the ileum.

Am J Gastroenterol 2003; 98:1362-1370. Bacterial overgrowth was more common in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Portal hypertension was also associated with nonspecific intestinal motility disturbances that may predispose a patient to bacterial overgrowth.
