They’re not diagnosed, because they don’t go to doctors. They still get all that, but none are diagnosed.
Our food has been poisoned for years.

I sit next to Amish in doctors offices and chat regularly - and have seen them at the hospital.
Nice people.
Part of this may be what you say, that they do not see doctors often and their maladies are rarely captured by the health bureaucracy.
Part of this may be the lack of processed foods and other chemicals and potential toxins that they are exposed to in comparison to the rest of us.
However, many of these conditions are pretty notable for young people and it is likely that there would be some knowledge at least within the community.
The lack of autism is very notable and common decency should demand further study to find out what they are doing right that we are not. The rates of autism are alarming and while some of it may be an increased ability to diagnose it, it does seem undeniable that the jump in stats did begin with the expanded vaccine schedule.
I just want it to be studied honestly, but that no longer seems possible in the US because the corporate interests have captured the institutions that would conduct such a study.
There was a picture with this article...the kids were skinny...the men were big and fat. Their diet is a food fest.
Amish children still go to school until the 8th grade. It would be reported in school.
I love listening (reading) the comments of those that don’t know.
Have a large Amish community just down the road.
They go to doctors.
They go to hospitals.
They go to grocery stores.
They even go to Walmart.
They reject modern power.
But they hire people that use it.
They even hire people to drive them, and people to take them fishing.
“they don’t go to doctors.”
They do.
Amish People Stay Healthy in Old Age. Here's Their Secret
Start with lifestyle. Amish communities are agrarian, with no modern farm equipment, meaning all the work has to be done by hand. In 2004, the American College of Sports Medicine fitted Amish volunteers with pedometers to determine how much physical activity they performed. The results were dramatic. Amish men took 18,425 steps a day and women 14,196 steps, compared with non-Amish people who are encouraged by doctors to shoot for at least 10,000 steps–and typically fail. Including other forms of manual labor–lifting, chopping, sowing, planting–the Amish are six times as active as a random sample of people from 12 countries. One result of this is that only about 4% of Amish people are obese, compared with 36.5% of the overall U.S. population. Amish children are about one-third as likely as non-Amish to be obese, according to a 2012 study in PLOS One. This means 50% lower rates of Type 2 diabetes. The near absence of tobacco in the Amish community–some men do smoke cigars–results in a 63% lower rate of tobacco-related cancers, according to a 2004 study of Ohio’s Amish population. The Amish also had rates of all cancers that were 40% lower than the rest of the Ohio population.
