The highly acidic environment in the stomach requires the body to have some defense mechanism to protect itself. Production of bicarbonate constantly helps in coating the stomach with layers of mucosa. Bicarbonate aids in neutralizing the acidity levels in the body. Any acid touching the mucosa is contained within the levels. In case of excess production of acid, attack of bacteria Heliobacter pylori, or lack of blood supply, this mechanism can fail leading to gastric ulcer.
