Is it true that constipation is commonly reported by astronauts during spaceflight?
Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly report constipation in astronauts. One spaceflight metabolomics study found prolonged intestinal transit time in astronauts, a mechanism consistent with constipation, and a space medicine text notes that some gastrointestinal symptoms are commonly reported by space flyers, but neither item states that constipation itself is commonly reported.
