My son demonstrated his sensitivity to soy with fussiness and
apparent GI distress --
wiggling and arching, kicking, flailing, tummy tender to touch (he
would wince and cry as I massaged him there).  He was just generally
unhappy and seemed uncomfortable.  I was "only" using soy margarine
and soy creamer for my (decaf) coffee, little to no other soy in my
diet.
