I was about to note the same thing as Lynn.  It is the cow's milk 
protein, not lactose, that is almost always the culprit.  Human milk 
has lots of lactose whether or not the mother eats it in her diet.

The baby's rapid weight gain and green slimy stools point to a 
possible maternal oversupply problem.  Has this been evaluated?  The 
mother could try nursing on one side for many hours/feedings and see 
if that helps.  This technique will help reduce an oversupply and 
also get relatively more fat-rich milk into the baby and slow gastric 
empyting.

Sensitivities to other foods in the mother's diet should be 
considered.  In addition to cow's milk protein and nuts, some other 
common offenders are eggs, soy, and wheat.

How nice that this baby is thriving and developing well regardless of 
his digestive issues!
