Dairy and soya free alternative to paediasure?

Does anyone have a dairy and soya free alternative to paediasure for a toddler please? Google is not proving helpful.

Because ds is recovering (still at 2.5 years old...) from feeding aversion (bottles and milk), can swallow safely, and can eat at least one food from each category, he has been discharged from paediatrician, dietician, dysphagia teams. Or I'd ask them. GPS here are worse than useless for cmpa.

I gave him 150ml paediasure before bed to help him sleep the last 2 nights, and instead of waking 2/3 times for milk, he slept until 5am. This suggests to me that he is indeed waking for hunger, not habit. He stuffs himself in the 2 hours before bed, easily eating more than half his calories a day, there is no more room for food! He can manage solid dairy just fine these days, but refuses cow milk so I had no way to test. He's having diarrhoea now I assume from the dairy.

I'd really like him to not be waking from hunger, it can't be good for him. He is very slim, but also tall (91st for height, 9th-25th for weight) - he has been on these lines since birth.
