I e-mailed Lush about their products, and I received a reply in 30 minutes. The reply is below, in case its useful to anyone else ...

Thank you for taking the time to write us. We use several different ingredients that you will want to stay away from, for example Lush uses:

-Cognac Oil (this is mainly found in a few of our Christmas items)

-Fresh Wheatgrass Mucilage (in our Cosmetic Lad moisturizer)

-Wheatgerm Oil (found in our Soft Touch body butter and our Chocolate Whipstick lip balm)

-Beer (in our Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo)

-Cold Pressed Wheatgerm Oil (in our Enzymion moisturizer, Skin

Here's a reply from today- June 2016. Sounds like cross contamination is a risk for all of their products because of the shared "kitchen" facility. Anyone use Lush products and have experience? 

Thank you for your email, I'd be happy to help you with this!

It is so wonderful that your daughter is looking to try Lush. We are a unique company in that our product line is constant changing and being revamped. Because of this, we don't like to have lists as they become out of date very quickly. What I recommend is checking online the ingredient list for the products that she'd be interested in. We don't have too many products that contain gluten, so that would be your best resource. Some ingredients that we use in our products that may contain gluten are: wheatgerm, wheatgrass, oats, oat milk, yeast, soya ingredients, and stout. As well, we do manufacture our products in a kitchen like facility. While we take precautions, cross contamination can happen. 

If you are curious about any product or specific range of products, please let me know and I'd be happy to answer any questions!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! 

All the best,
Lush Customer Care

I use Lush products and have never had any problems. I really like the Big shampoo. I have used the conditioners as well as body washes (It's Raining Men and Happy Hippy). I also use the mint julip (?) lip scrub and the "let's rock and roll" face scrub. No problems!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
