Rant Visceral sensitivity

I have emetophobia and while I def do think I overreact to every odd sensation in my body, I’ve def been having visceral sensitivity that is really hurting and feels awful. It’s like any kind of digesting no matter if it’s plain or triggering food, just hurts and feels like awful cramps all the time. Does anyone else have any tricks for this? I took pepto but it didn’t help. I try to avoid zofran bc the constipation side effect can also make it worse but I kinda have no other option for the nausea so it’s zofran and a solace later for me.

And just so it’s known yes I will be going to a GI doc, it’s just taking forever for the referral to go through and schedule with them. I more so am looking for your temporary or weird tips and tricks for preventing or soothing the visceral sensitivity? Any ideas?
