As mentioned, the stomach's mucous lining protects the stomach itself from being dissolved by our stomach acids.
In some cases, if the mucous lining becomes too thin, or too much acid is produced, the acid can actually start to eat away at the gastrointestinal lining.
This is one of the causes of ulcers, as well as the pain of heartburn (acid reflux).

Our stomachs are lined with a thick layer of mucous that protects the it from our digestive juices.

Because our flesh never reaches our stomach. when you eat something, it goes to our stomach where food gets digested. Hopefully, you dont eat your own skin, therefore it doesnt get digested.
If you ate your own skin, it would get digested.

Our stomachs secrete mucus to protect themselves from the acid they use to digest food.

because theres a lining of mucus in our stomachs, and even that doesnt hole it all back. The stomach grows a new layer of skin every 3 days. Pretty gross, huh?

because it only releases a set amount of HCl to dissolve your food and unless your body's out of wack it shuts down the acid pumps soon after. if it doesn't it goes after your stomach lining and can make ulcers worse
