Spelt may be related to what we commonly call wheat but it is still different.  If people with wheat allergies need to avoid spelt as well, then they should learn to do that.  I must avoid wheat but can eat spelt.  Why must I be penalized against in favor of those who must avoid both?  I NEED to know that something contains only spelt and not wheat.  Calling spelt 'wheat' is very confusing and bad for me.  So does this mean that I am not important?<br/><br/>

It is a form of wheat and has gluten in it (spelt). For people like me gluten mistakes mean I have trouble working or doing anything around others for 2 days.  Other people its more severe.  It should have a warning it is not gluten free.<br/><br/>

The difference is spelt gluten is more water soluble and easier for the digestive system to break down. 
The best analogy is lactose intolerance. Many can tolerate certain dairy products (dairy products, cheese), but not others (liquid milk, cream). 
But all dairy products would cause a reaction in someone with a dairy allergy or who is intolerant to casein. 
Thus, spelt is beneficial for those with my type of digestive difficulties with wheat, but not for someone with a strong allergy or celiac disease.<br/><br/>
