I saw spelt Matzo in the store yesterday.  On the box it says that spelt 
contains "a different type of gluten and can be substituted in 
gluten-sensitive diets."

But in a quick look around on the web I find the following:

-A gluten-free diet means avoiding foods that contain wheat (including 
spelt, triticale, and kamut), rye, barley, and possibly oats.

-Spelt is considered to be wheat free but it is NOT gluten free.

-Following are examples of foods that should be avoided when eating 
gluten-free ... All cereals containing wheat, rye, oats, or barley; bran; 
graham; wheat germ; durum; kaska; bulgar; buckwheat; millet; triticale; 
amaranth; spelt; teff; quinoa; kamut

I'm sure this question gets re-asked every year at this time.  What does the 
manufacturer of this matzo mean?
