Is stomach pain a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease or colon disease?

Ask
Hello doctor! Currently, I have epigastric abdominal pain intermittently, each episode is less than 1 minute and lasts for nearly 2 days and has not stopped, but the time between each attack gradually fades away. I also have loose stools.
In the past, I sometimes had stomach pain when I ate at the wrong time, sometimes I also had loose stools. At night, when I lie down to sleep, I feel a bit tight in the breastbone and full.
The doctor asked me if stomach pain is a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease or colon disease? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. I would like to thank
