Latose free diet

I understand that old cheeses don't always have lactose -

If the
nutritional information on the cheese says, "sugars: 0 grams," then
the cheese contains no lactose.

- I found this on a lactose-free forum. Personally I don't mind a bit of laughing cow kinda stuff but I'd say old cheddar would be ok for you.
Yogurt wise, there's a brand called lacto-free that do lactosefree milk, they also have yogurts but tesco stopped doing them a couple months ago :mad: You might find them in some other shops.
Good luck, it's not fun
Btw, there's dairy free chocolate in health shops (as well as dark chocolate I mean)
Soya fruit yogurts are quite nice. WW yogurts seem to be made with skimmed milk [think that's lower, ime] and aren't too bad either, and I'd be sensitive enough.

Unless the advice was given to you by a registered medical practicioner then it would be best to ignore it.

Yeah, any cheese that is just fat and protein (there are plenty) will be lactose free. Most high fat cheeses (e.g. brie) have < 1% carb (i.e. lactose) levels. The process of making cheese should break down most of the lactose.

Also, it is possible to add lactose digesting enzymes (lactase) to more or less anything liquid. Typically these are given to children in their bottles, but you could use them with yoghurt or anything else. You need to add them a while in advance of eating though (they break down the lactose into simpler sugars). You can buy it in chemists.
