I am also intolerant of lactose in milk, besides having
a colon problem anyway.  I am greatly surprised that no
one has even mentioned lactaid yet.
This is a formula that can be purchased in most drug stores
from the pharmacy that once added to milk, breaks down the
lactose in it.  I think it comes in tablet and liquid form.
Add 4-5 drops to a quart of milk, let sit 8 hours and you
have milk to drink!  It has worked great for me, and as far
as I can tell, there is no taste difference.
Someone also mentioned the sweet acidopholus milk - I am
also intolerant of that.
For you people in the DC area, the lactose-free milk is 
available in some supermarkets already cartoned.  That's
where I first tried it out.
Please don't ask me any more about the chemical details -
I don't know.  I do know that it works.
