Hi there,

White stingy substance in her urostomy may indicate that she has of an infection of her urine. I'd recommend she have her urine tested with a urinalysis, and she should make sure she drinks plenty of fluids in the meantime, as she may simply be a bit dehydrated. I don't think this is related to the protein powder, but you can try stopping it and see if this helps.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
