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~ ^^

Yes. In order for the body to use food, the food must be broken down into it's most basic elements. Complex carbohydrates are broken into simple carbohydrates, proteins are broken down into amino acids and fats are broken down into fatty acids. Some of this break down takes place because of the acids in your stomach, but enzymes in the stomach and mouth are required to further dismantle food into usable nutreints.
