How do you know if your stomach lining has been hurt?
If the lining of you stomach has been damaged, then there would be some definite symptoms. The lining of your stomach protects the stomach wall from the acids and enzymes in your stomach that digest food - its is there so we do not eat ourselves! Now, firstly, it is very hard to damge. The 'lining' of the stomach is a secreted substance that the acid wears at instead of the stomcah wall, and it is contantly being replaced. It is very unlikely for you to damage the production of this secretion - you would have to seriously upset the inner workings of you system. But anyway, the symptoms would be quite painful. As you would expect, as the acid wears at the stomach wall, ulsers appear which can be extremely painful and discomforting. So, if you have alot of pain coming from your stomach, especially when you eat or apply pressure to the region, then you should go and consult your GP.
Is your stomach lined with mucus?

Why does the uterus lining break down each month if the woman does not get pregnant?

What will happen if mucus is not secreted by gastric glands?
If mucus is not secreted by gastric glands, the stomach lining would be exposed to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach leading to damage and ulcers. Mucus acts as a protective barrier against the stomach acid, so its absence can result in inflammation and erosion of the stomach lining.
Why do the acids in our tummy not burn them?
The stomach's lining is protected from the corrosive gastric acid by a layer of mucous. If the mucous lining thins or is otherwise damaged, acid can damage the lining of the stomach, causing an ulcer. While the stomach's lining is able to resist gastric acid thanks to its layer of mucous, the esophagus and mouth aren't as well-protected. So, if there is a problem with the sphincter that keeps the stomach shut, and the stomach acid enters the esophagus, it can cause damage and pain that is felt as heartburn. Excessive vomiting can also damage the esophagus; gastric acid can even damage teeth due to vomiting.

How come the acids in our tummy don't burn us?
The stomach lining secretes a thick layer of mucus that helps protect it from the stomach acid. Aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen etc (but not Tylenol/ acetominophen) decrease the production of this mucus and so can lead to stomach upset and inflammation and occasionally ulcers.
