I believe that the whole milk Kefir, is also lactose free (99%).
Their website at Lifeway gives lots of facts and I found it interesting.

My low fat type is so thick and rich, I can't imagine what the whole milk fat one would be like!

If you can get the organism balance in your GI tract more balanced you may not be dairy intolerant anymore. But there are people who are casein intolerant, but then ice cream would bother you!

Cow's milk contains casein and this can be allergenic in its own right. Lactose intolerance means you may have lost the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactose would then be fermented causing gas, bloating and diarrhea. So it can be confusing since both problems give similar symptoms.
