Does 2mg Folic Acid Tablets And B12 Injections Cause Gastric Pain?

I have been on 2mg Folic Acid tablets QD X 1 mos as well as weekly B12 injections for suspected Pernicious Anemia and am now having what feels like gastritis. Antacids help, but the pain keeps returning. I am still taking the Folic Acid. My PCP is out of town.
