What type of tissue does acid in your stomach remove?

It does not remove tissue per se, but it can damage the protective mucosal lining of the stomach if it is compromised, leading to conditions such as gastritis or ulcers. This lining is made up of epithelial tissue, which produces mucus to protect the stomach from the corrosive effects of the acid.
