Artificial sweeteners can have side effects that include headaches and gastritis. The best way to determine if the artificial sweetener is causing the gastritis is to stop using it and see if the symptoms subside. The EmpowHER reference page provides information on the causes and treatment of gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining:

Anything that upsets the balance of stomach acid and digestive juices can lead to an ulcer, such as:
* H pylori bacteria
* NSAIDs, which blocks the body's ability to protect the stomach lining
* Diseases that increase acid production such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Rare causes include radiation therapy, bacterial or viral infections, alcohol abuse, injury, and severe stress such as surgery, trauma, head injury, shock, or burns.
