Yes, : Yes, you need to go to a doctor and have a complete medical evaluation. Spitting up blood (or possibly coughing it up?) is a concerning symptom and needs a complete evaluation. White stools can be a sign of a problem in the liver. Please be seen and have a complete medical evaluation.

I : I agree. White stool is caused by a lack of bile or bile which is obstructed from leaving the liver or the gallbladder. Normally bile causes stool to be brown. You should seek prompt evaluation by a doctor.
