When a card says to discard items, do allies and spells count?

The rulebook does not define items this narrowly, and replies disagree on whether spells and allies count.

Usually no, but it is not settled. Players commonly treat only common and unique item cards as items, so a rule that discards items does not reach spells or allies. However, the rulebook's setup diagram labels spells and allies as items too, and the devoured rule lists Item, Ally and Adventure cards, so check the card's wording.
