Im lactose intolerent, well used to be, more so than I am now (I have kind of grown out of it somehow :S). Try drinking goats milk. At first if you are used to drinking cows milk it tastes a little strange but once you get used to it its fine (and cows milk then becomes strange tasting).
Goats milk is not very nice in cups of tea though. For that I used to have soya milk which can be bought sweetend or unsweetend. ( i didnt find it very nice to just drink though)
My Dairy Ease Fat Free Milk is Lactose Free, and has the following ingredients on the label: Fat Free Milk, Lactase Enzyme, Potassium Chloride, Vitamin A Palmitate and Vitamin D3.
So it appears that lactose free milk has the natural enzyme lactase added.
Lactase breaks down the milk-sugar lactose into the more easily digestible sugars galactose and glucose. The lactase the dairies add is similar to the lactase created by the body during normal digestion of dairy products. After the lactose is broken down to galactose and glucose, the milk is sometimes perceived as having a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
I just checked my calorie app and it said that regular whole milk has 12 grams of carbs and lactose free whole milk has 13 grams of carbs. If lactose is a form of sugar, why to carbs increase when you remove it?
I thought sugar was added to all dairy milks. I don't use them and use goat milk yogurt for some calcium support and I like it and hard goat cheeses. There is a whole industry of raw milk drinking people. We humans are the only living beings who drink milk after weaned from mothers. I avoid soy as it's damaging to thyroid for one thing, and use coconut milks and almond milks for when I need milk for my morning coffee...some times I add some of these milks to the soups I make.

While this a reply, it is not really an answer to my question.

Nope.
And we are also the only animals that drink coffee, put butter on toast and cook our vegetables. So what?

The lactose isn't physically removed - its just broken down by lactase added to the milk before it gets to the store to into its two component sugars - i.e. glucose and galactose.
But why the total carbohydrate levels goes up by 1 gram - not clear to me at all.
