The last two decades have witnessed the rapid develop-ment of China's manned spaceflight industry. Studies have showed that the weightlessness environment has a series of adverse effects on the human body. Due to the complexity of the structure and function of the digestive system, the impact of weightlessness on the digestive system has certain particularity. How to ensure the steady state of the digestive system during astronaut's space mission and in the training under simulated weightlessness needs to be studied urgently. This review focuses on the progress in the research of digestive system trauma, stress injury, and repair under microgravity environment.
