That was the one thing I was curious about. However, other people are also lactose intolerant yet want probiotics. Here are some things that might help:
Soy Kefir
Probiotic Soy Milk
Probiotic Juices - For vegans or people with allergies to milk products, fruit or vegetable juices fortified with probiotic microorganisms offer an alternative to probiotic dairy beverages. Lactobacillus bacteria cultured in oatmeal or other non-dairy media have been added to fruit juices to provide this beneficial microbe to consumers who can’t tolerate milk or yogurt.
Probiotic juices are sometimes blended with kombucha, a probiotic Asian tea. Very little research has been done on the probiotic properties of kombucha.
This has turned out to be a very interesting dialog.
I can’t do soy, but can do some juices and oatmeal so I will check them out. I will also check out kombucha tea.
The probiotics I have taken are:
Tablets by Schiff

Capsules by Twinlab
When I looked up the link for Twinlab I discovered why I have been having trouble fining it in stores; the formulation has changed. Still milk free.

(Twinlab also has a dry formulation for D and A & D for those who have problems with soy oil and fish oil )
