Hello,
In Grave's disease gastrointestinal transit time is decreased, leading to increased stool frequency, often with diarrhea and occasionally mild steatorrhea.
This is the only gastrointestinal manifestation of Grave's disease. Your present complains of heartburn is related to gastritis (inflamed stomach) as evidenced by UGI (Upper gastrointestinal) endoscopy and not related to Grave's disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
