Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Protein shakes / weight gain

Hello all. Well my boyfriend is one of those annoying people who need to make a concerted effort to gain weight. He has just started a gym regimine with a personal trainer, and is hoping to gain 10 pounds in the next several months. His trainer has him drinking protein shakes. My boy thinks he is lactose intolerant, so he chose a brand that was lactose free. However, he just told me that they are still "going right through him." At this point he thinks he's actually losing weight. I asked him about the ingredients and he said it's all whey protein. Well BINGO. I explained to him about other milk elements besides lactose being bothersome for people. So, I was wondering if anybody out there knows of any non-dairy (not just lactose-free) protein shakes for weight gain. By the way, don't worry, he's not taking that scary kretoein stuff -- It can cause heart attacks!
Well thanks in advance for any info!
