I have severe pain after i eat a meal. this has been going on for two years now since i was 18. what type of doctor do i see about this?

Primary care doctor: Start by seeing your primary care doctor, who can take your history, examine you, and get the appropriate tests and treatments started. If necessary he/she will refer you to a gastroenterologist who may do more tests and/or add more treatments as needed.

Chronic Gastritis: Pain after eating for 2 years may be due to chronic gastritis. However, hunger pain worsening on empty stomach sign of peptic ulcer disease. Common causes of both gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, including: Helicobacter pylori infection and reflux esophagitis, whereas other exogenous causes, such as gastrinoma need to be excluded. I would recommend see your primary care physician first.

Gastroenterologist: I would see a gastroenterologist and they can perform various tests to see if you have peptic ulcer disease versus another etiology.

GP, internist, gi dr: Need physician to get details of history, type and location of pain, food intake, bowel habits and many other details that might contribute to pain. Also thorough physical exam important to determine whether additional testing is necessary. General physicians, internists, and gastrointestinal specialists should be able to handle probem.

Pain after eating: Sorry to hear about your pain. Is the pain immediately after or while eating? Most likely cause could be a stomach ulcer which can be easily treated.You should see a GI specialist for your symptoms. He/she can perform several tests to properly identify your issue. Good luck.
