It is a good substitute for milk if you are lactose intolerant, but only if you have minor form. I doubt it helps if you have a severe form because it still contains lactose (less because fermentation) and it will certainly not cure it.

But aside from the potential benefits for digestion, which many people do indeed report, it is also quite tasty.

I think Kefir is basically just other microbes for yogurt where a special fungi is added (a form of yeast).
