because the inside of our stomach is protected by a mucosal layer that prevents its own digestion. Now, it doesn't mean that the inside of the stomach can never be damaged by the gastric juice. An ulcer occurs when this layer of mucus has been destroyed by the acidity of the gastric juice (with the help of certain bacterial infections in the stomach).
