From Goljan p. 354: "Most common cause of hematochezia refers to diverticulOSIS not diverticulITIS, scarring of the vessel in diverticulitis prevents bleeding."
From BRS Path p. 228: "DiverticulOSIS... most often asymptomatic or associated with vague discomfort.", "DiverticulITIS... Bright red bleeding is frequent"
Can someone clear this up for me definitively? Thanks!
