Cetaphil?

[ChemistMama]

Just recieved an email from the folks at Galderma:

"The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser does not contain ingredients that may be derived from grains and therefore does not contain gluten.

The other Cetaphil products contain ingredients that may be derived from grains and therefore possibly contains gluten.

A cleansing validation of the production lines is performed between runs of different products. However, we cannot claim with 100% certainty that cross contamination has not occurred.

OH well, no more cetaphil for me!! I really like their lotions, too...

[ChemistMama]

...but I just got a email from the folks at J&J, and their Purpose products are gluten-free. I don't understand the 'wheat form of gluten' statement, but it looks like I"ll be using their lotions and face sunscreens this summer!

I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser every day and have never been glutened by it. I used it from the first day of my diagnosis and at my last doctor's visit, my celiac blood panel was perfect.

Llike I said above, the gentle skin cleanser is the only one that IS gluten-free. I really like their hand lotion, unfortunately!

The problem likely isn't oats, but the Vitamin E (tocopherols) which can be from wheat.

[hermitgirl]

Oats that are certified gluten free are ok. I would think that if oats that have been contaminated with gluten, that it would show in their gluten testing. Corn and rice also have a form of gluten, which don't fall under the wheat form type, maybe they are referring to those forms in the statement. They test for all wheat forms, which does include tocopherols, as that is wheat based.
