Do any of you feel eating sweets cause spotting flareups? Or more bleeding. So sick of all the spotting. How long does this last

    While I can't say whether I've noticed any refined sugar spotting flare-ups, I can say that I noticed I stopped spotting altogether in the past several months and coincidentally had ceased eating sweets. However, I think my spotting cessation is due to the progression of my perimenopause. Who knows? I can tell you that I had regular periods until age 47 or 48. Then, I had them either every two months or twice a month for a year. For the past two years I've had perhaps four periods, and this year I have had only one period and a bit of spotting. I am 51 and will be 52 in two months. Let me tell you, spotting is the favorite of my symptoms. The others can be nearly unbearable sometimes!
