Hmph. I would have thought so too. The problem isn't lack of gluten, but lack of rise (CO2).

Maybe there's a slightly different thing going on -- that the yeast got used to - and multiplied by - eating spelt, and when they got into the wheat they didn't know what to do with it?

I bet you could "convert" the starter by feeding it wheat.
