Here's an article where they studied the impact of lactose intolerance on calcium absorbtion. As well as I understood - it does not. It also mentioned that eating yogurt and other things with live cultures in it can help the person digest the milk better.

I am guessing on this one. I take acidophilous tablets to avoid yeast problems but that is the bacteria found in yogurt. It may help in the digestion of the milk and prevent some of the discomfort. Lactobacilous acidophilous or at least a form of it is some of the natural flora in the digestive tract and getting it in the tablet form is a pretty cheap tablet. Granted you can just get the lactaid pills but I think it would be still cheaper than that.
