Is This Rumored Way for Lactose Intolerant People to Quickly Lose Weight True?

People at my school has been spreading around rumors about a quick way for people to lose weight. Here is what they say:

If you're extremely lactose intolerant and you drink at least two cups of milk a day to make yourself release really big bowel movements every day, you'll be able to lose at least 9 pounds a week.

Is that true?

I'm asking out curiosity because I didn't know you could lose weight by passing your bowels and it sounds pretty nasty and silly because if someone's lactose intolerant, drinking a lot of milk would mess up their stomach, right?

    From what I can tell they will either be throwing up a ton or pooping a ton. So yes that would make them lose weight. It is basically just taking a laxative or making yourself throw up.
