It’s not really your stomach doing that. Generally something toxic or at least irritating gets into the bloodstream and starts affecting other things and the body says that it needs to prevent any more that may still be in the stomach from getting any further.

I feel like its more the other way around. Your stomach isn’t saying oooh pain it’s trying to digest, either making the fluids more acidic or ramming the digestables down faster. Your brain after a few generations of evolution was like maybe we can build feeling responses to this reaction. To say stop eating it you dumb nuts. But we never listen.
