Yes, it's true that milk causes mucous production to increase.  I'm
told it should be avoided when you have a cold, whether or not you are
intolerant.

As for what to give your son when he doesn't have a cold, why don't you
look into soy milk and soy products.  I think they taste good, although
I don't think they taste like milk.  They are expensive.  But they may
not be necessary: ask your doctor, given his present diet, if he needs
to have dairy foods at all.  I understand that protein and fat are not
so important after two or three years.
