I don't think heavy bleeding is ever normal, if it was me I would see a colon/rectal specialist.

Get a second opinion, I've discussed DD with several doctors since I had my first bout 5 weeks ago, I work for surgeons at the University of Pennsylvania. Did the colonoscopy confirm Diverticulosis. I went to my doctor the day after my pain and blood in stools started and they sent me for blood work and a CT scan the same day which confirmed it and started me on antibiotics right away. Heavy bleeding is not normal. After that treatment and a few days of a liquid diet followed by a low residue diet feor a couple of weeks I am feeling almost myself again.
