GI pain: What non-medication ideas help?

I have had GI discomfort for years. IBS and autoimmune intestinal inflammation. I also had MALS, but that is taken care of.
The only thing that really helps me is sleep. When I sleep, my insides also sleep.
I also take Dicyclomin and PeptoBismol.

My brief Google search showed Dicyclomin was to "reduce the symptoms of stomach and intestinal cramping." Does that mean it reduces diarrhea and you had IBS-D?
I believe I have IBS-C, constipation with very uncomfortable and disfiguring bloat especially if I inadvertently eat a little too much. Or maybe it is too much of a particular food. I finally have an appointment with a gastroenterologist who may help.
