Hi, My daughter has been gluten free for about 4 months and her panic attacks have gone away but she still has anxiety especially under stress. I was reading about pyroluria a condition which causes extreme deficiencies in B6 and zinc and is seen a lot in people who are also gluten intolerant. She seems to have many of the symptoms.
