Can one use " had had " in a sentence? Would it be correct grammatically?

I think it's fine.

'Over the years, my mother had had more than enough of my tantrums.'

I think it is perfectly OK, Albie!

Malone.....could you have also used has had?

yes....e.g. somebody has had a bad day

Yes, if you are using a singular noun as subject.

Pluperfect comes to mind ...........from the very distant past!

has had = compound past, more recent than

had had = pluperfect further away in the past

We all use it a lot in conversation in the contracted form of

He'd had a bad day, - we don't always realise that it is in fact had had.

Thanks all......very informative.
