I don't forget things such as where I put items, or appointments or those type of items, but I frequently (some days worsethan others) just can't reach for words I know I know. My doctor hastested for all the usual causes without any results. At first Ithought it might be hormonal, but I am on hormone replacement therapy. Anyone else experience this?" I am 59 and have been on gf diet for almost 30 years. I have never had a great memory. In college, I'd study for hours, do very well on the exam, but remember almost nothing of what I had studied a few hours after the exam. Today, my ability to recall information, names, dates,words is getting worse. My adult children tease me about not being able to tell them anything about a book I had completed the day before, or a movie or tv program I just saw. I thing the problem has more to do with accessing the information than with memory, because the word, name, etc. will come back to me hours later. Sometimes I remember all sorts of extraneous information, but not the specific word or name I'm searching for. Also, my situation is similar to Carollees in that I don't forget where I put things, appointments, etc. I too take estrogen replacement. Laurie Levine I never thought it had anything to do with celiac, but your letter made me wonder.
