Question:
Can spotting be caused by whey protein and sugar alcohols?

I am a pre-op and post menepausal. I ordered samples and also tried other protein drinks and nectars. Each time I drink one I spot. I even tried soy protein which gave me a full fledged period. I understand the soy mimics estrogen so I quit drinking those. I suspected it was the sugar alcohols so I tried some whey without it and still spotted. Thinking about egg protein now without flavor or sweetners. I need suggestions as to what maybe causing this. FYI, pcp and ob/gyn don't have a clue either.    — eprise616 (posted on August 8, 2003)

ANY bleeding or spotting after menopause is not normal. I don't mean to frighten you, but I would definitely get into my gyn for a complete evaluation. As far as the proteins causing this, I have never heard of this. Shelley

For what it is worth, I think that the spotting and protein are unrelated. I agree with the last poster, you need to find an ob/gyn with a clue. Maybe a reproductive endrochronologist.
