Here are a few suggestions:
Spectrum shortening - palm oil and can be used for baking. Some grocery stores carry it in the baking aisle. http://www.spectrumorganics.com/index.php?id=87
Fleischmann's Light, tub with light blue lid, corn based - can't bake with it but can be used for toast etc. (It's very hard to find. I have heard that Kroger's carries it.)
Mother's Margarine Passover version - cottonseed oil based. It's only sold at Passover; so if you find it, stock up for the year. (It freezes well.) (I have never found these, but I live in an area with a small Jewish population. You will need to find a Kosher store or see if your local grocery store can order them.)
Mother's Olive Oil spray does not contain soy. You probably need to find a Kosher store for these products.
Is your DD allergic to soy lecithin/soy oil also? Most (but not 100%) of SA kids can handle soy lecithin and soy oil. Check with your allergist and see if you keep those or not. Your life will be much easier with those than if you have to eliminate them.
If you can keep soy lecithin & oil, then you can keep the Fleischmann's and Smart Balance.
HTH!
