I know that spelt is recommended by some dieticians who prescribe the FODMAP diet, and indeed in the most recent article by Gibson et al, they suggest spelt as an alternative to wheat. However, spelt is related to wheat, so I believe that it still contains fructans and fibres that can be problematic. Whole-grains can be problematic for ibs, you can read what Heather has to say about whole-grains (and other insoluble fibres), here, http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/fiber2.asp.
If you want to try spelt bread you can buy white spelt bread, with the outer husk of the grain removed during processing, or you could buy white spelt bread flour and make your own. Quinoa is a soluble fibre and should be safe, however, brown-rice has more insoluble fibre than soluble fibre and is problematic for some people with ibs.
