Gluten Free Apricot Scrub

Hey guys..I noticed a thread on here that said something about the St Ives apricot scrub having gluten in it...WELL, I usually use that, but last time I bought exfoliator I saw the Equate (walmart) brand so bought that instead because it was a little cheaper. From what I can tell, the ingredients look safe. I dont have the bottle in front of me right now, but I remember reading it in the shower and thinking that I should post about it incase someone wants to check out the ingredient list themselves next time you go to walmart..Im still a newbie at all this, so I may have missed something, but maybe its worth checking out if you are like me and love your beauty products!!!

I was curious, so I just went into the bathroom and read the ingredients off my tube of St. Ives Apricot Scrub and call me clueless, but I can't see anything on there that contains gluten.

They make two versions, and I believe one contains wheat germ.

I posted this somewhere else a few weeks ago, but the Clean and Clear company emailed me letting me know which of their products are gluten free. And the Clean and Clear BlackHead Clearing Scrub is gluten free. And it works. It's strong so I don't use it everyday.

My absolute favorite scrub - that I am literally addicted to - is Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub. It is gluten free according to the delphi list.

The little scrubbing beads are also microspheres, which means that it will not cause the microabrasions that apricot scrubs do. I'm actually trained as a master esthetician and so I care a lot about these little things :)

Microabrasions can lead to acne & such, not fun. Try this scrub - but be warned, it's crazy addictive ;) I keep a tube in my shower and use it every day. It smells sooooooo good and makes me feel so clean and smooth. Yum!! :wub:

      Responding to both of your replies: thank you so much!! That makes a lot of sense and helps me feel better about it - I really appreciate the clarification and recommendations. You guys have been very helpful and this site is a gift. Thanks again!

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
