Can Ensure cause diarrhea in an older person who has had colon surgery?

I have had 12 inches removed from my colon and I have diarrhea after drinking Ensure.
I asked my Gastro doctor and he mumbled something about possible milk allergy (there is still milk protein in Ensure.)
But I have a hard time with his answer because I believe that I can have things like Coffee Mate with out the same problems.
