This is because of the mucous that lines the stomach walls. Also, when you vomit, sometimes you get a burn in your abdomen, this is because you spewed up that mucous and your stomach lining is reacting with the acid inside it. But, there is no need to worry, for the acid doesn't have enough time to harm your stomach before more mucous replaces the old~ ^^
