I assumed that she was allergic to dairy as most of my family is.  When she
was a few months old, I tried her on Similac, and she vomited it all up.
After a couple of tests like this, I figured my home diagnosis was accurate.
She was diagnosed allergic to soy by a naturopath when she was about 7.  I
don't know if there were specific symptoms, but her behaviour has improved
significantly since soy was removed from her diet.
Rice milk and water.  Sometimes juice.
