Have they been tested for allergies or any other digestive problems? Chicken and rice is usually enough to keep food down.
I believe the culturing process does something to the lactose, but that said, if you are really nervous about cow's milk, get some goat or sheep milk yogurt. The other benefit is that, since those aren't mass marketed, they'll have a lot more active cultures in them too.
