What do they even do with their waste in general? Do they keep it and return to earth with it or does it flush into the universe?

A lot of not so informed responses in this thread. I work in the space program. For quite some time half my meetings were about peeing and pooping. Astronauts in space handle diarrhea the same exact way you do: with medication, fluids, and using the toilet until it passes.

Everyone in the module gets pink-eye, which, due to an unrelated coincidence, [is called Apollo in parts of Africa](https://quacktrack.org/why-haemorrhagic-conjunctivitis-is-popularly-called-apollo/).

It also used to be much more difficult even when nobody was ill, leading to [some escapees](https://www.vox.com/2015/5/26/8646675/apollo-10-turd-poop).
