I’ve read that folks who have trouble digesting dairy usually have some sort of gut flora imbalance, which often strikes after a bad stomach flu.
A round of herbal antibiotics (such as oregano oil or raw garlic) followed up by good quality probiotics should help.
When reintroducing dairy to the diet start with a tiny amount each day, like one sip of milk. Keep doing that, ramping up slowly, adding a tiny amount while watching for symptoms. It takes about two weeks for the body to begin making various enzymes to digest milk properly.
Sorry, I responded before reading your other comments. The oils vs fiber is true, but probably not your friend's solution. I can say that my mother developed lactose intolerance, but she got over it by drinking only organic milk and it went away. There are some that recommend kefir or organic living yogurt to overcome lactose indifference, but I don't have personal experience with that. Good luck.
There’s a food additive in MANY dairy products called carrageenan. It’s used as a thickener in heavy cream, cottage cheese, ice cream, cream cheese, etc. It can cause intestinal irritation. I absolutely avoid it like the plague.
