The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like heartburn, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Duodenal ulcers are sores that develop on the lining of the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) due to erosion of the protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, appetite changes, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion. Erosive esophagitis is the inflammation that damages the lining of the oesophagus. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, painful swallowing, chest pain, heartburn and acid regurgitation.
