I didn't find any on the supermarket shelves without corn.  I don't know
of any without soy.  Dr. Rapp's book lists two sans corn, but at least
one (Nursoy) is not available in the US anymore as far as I know.  I'm
still looking for Ricelyte to use instead of Pedialyte which is corn
based.

I weaned her around 13 months to soy milk and she seems to be doing fine.
 I do pump a bit of extra fats in her diet and some extra calcium in
juices.  Other than that, she eats a pretty normal diet - just no cheeses
or packaged foods.  I make a lot of roasted meats with veggies or stews
with noodles.  Things that make good finger foods.  I do give her Kosher
salami and bologna, but I don't really worry about the nitrates/nitrites
at this point.
