Explanation:

Who said it doesn't digest itself!?. Thats Exactly what happens when your stomach becomes ulcerated. In short there is a protective mucus layer containing bicarbonate and other substances that protect your stomach’s lining from the acid in it. This layer may be damaged due to including a bacteria called H. pylori, alcohol, smoking, pain killer drugs (NSAID’s), stress and more. Once this barrier is broke, the acid may reach the walls of your stomach causing ulcer.

Hope it helps!
