Why do the acids in our tummy not burn them?
The stomach's lining is protected from the corrosive gastric acid by a layer of mucous. If the mucous lining thins or is otherwise damaged, acid can damage the lining of the stomach, causing an ulcer. While the stomach's lining is able to resist gastric acid thanks to its layer of mucous, the esophagus and mouth aren't as well-protected. So, if there is a problem with the sphincter that keeps the stomach shut, and the stomach acid enters the esophagus, it can cause damage and pain that is felt as heartburn. Excessive vomiting can also damage the esophagus; gastric acid can even damage teeth due to vomiting.

A perforating gastric ulcer can lead to damage to the pancreas if it erodes through the wall of the stomach and affects nearby structures like the pancreas. This can cause inflammation in the pancreas and lead to complications such as pancreatitis. The close proximity of the stomach and pancreas allows for potential spread of infection or inflammation from a perforated ulcer to the pancreas.
What tube through which food passes into the stomach?
The esophagus is the tube that brings food and liquids from your mouth to your stomach. “Benign” means it’s not cancerous. Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation ( esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow.
