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 Because of this, we don't like to have lists as they become out of date very quickly.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!

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
