Am I eating enough?

I’ve been having some really intense anxiety for the past few weeks or so and about a week ago my stomach started hurting really bad and ever since then I haven’t had much of an appetite. I’ve been forcing myself to eat very little but it’s been a while since I’ve had like a full meal. It’s giving me anxiety bc I’m scared I’m gonna end up in the hospital if I keep this up. I try to eat but everything makes me nauseous and I feel I may not be getting enough nutrients. Any suggestions? I wanna try smoothies but I don’t really like a lot of sugar and I’m lactose intolerant.

Talk with a gastroenterologist. You may have IBS or SIBO, or even a GI virus. My gastro has told me that there are a few stomach viruses that can last for up to 6 weeks. Get tested.
