Undisclosed Medical Diagnosis: Is It Common?

Wow. That’s horrifying.

I’ve never had a doctor that didn’t directly tell me everything I’ve been diagnosed with except for my thyroid problem because it didn’t act up until very recently and I was told about it then because I never really needed to know before that

i don't really know what the exact protocol on communicating diagnoses are. my therapist never really told me what she thought i had clinically, and i found out the exact diagnosis online, too. i don't think she meant it maliciously, though. just how it happens, which can be pretty frustrating people going through specific conditions. sorry to hear that, OP. ♡

Yes it is and no it's normal to tell a patient. Make the dietary changes you need to make and don't stop. Alot of that is dietary and food allergy based as well as immune system based. Do your homework.
