I have been told that it is okay to eat things with spelt flour. Then I read it is a derivitive of wheat. BUT that some celiacs can tolerate it. Can we?

As far I know, no we can't have spelt. For me, I can't even have gluten-free flours that are produced in non-dedicated factories. Just because some people can tolerate it doesn't mean, unfortunately, that it's not doing damage.
I know the *official* verdict is still out on oats (not contaminated as they so often are) but I'm pretty sure spelt is a no.
Here's the forbidden list from this site and spelt is on it:

NO Spelt IS Wheat. Spelt has wheat gluten in it becuase it is Wheat.
As far as I understand it, the offical verdict on oats, assumingyou can find uncontaminated oats (only 2 producers that I know of, niehter is mainstream) is simply that some celiacs also react to oats, and there is no way to know without a oat challenge complete with atleast blood work, possibly a bisopy.
Since all mainstream oats (Quacker, etc) are known to be contiminated by wheat, it realy is a bit of a moot point at this stage.

Spelt is definately a no-no for Celiacs!

absolute no no...do you have the safe and forbidden list of ingredients and foods that we can and can't have. That may be something to help you out.

Some people who have a wheat allergy, but not celiac disease, can apparently tolerate spelt. That might be where the confusion comes from. For a celiac, spelt is a no no.
