While yoghurt has less lactose than the milk from which it is made, it does contain some lactose, because the fermentation process is not 100% complete. There do exist some brands of yoghurt designed to be edible by lactose-intolerant people, to which lactase enzyme has been added.

Can milk cause Ulcerative Colitis?
The lactose in milk can irritate the symptoms of ulcerative colitis, but generally lactose is not believed to be a central CAUSE of ulcerative colitis. However, "fermented milk" - yogurt - may be beneficial because it contains the bacteria that digest lactose for us. These bacteria should be present in our colon, but as we age they often die out, often by the time we are 15 or 20 yrs. old. Eating yogurt [or other fermented foods] will replenish our gut with these beneficial bacteria and they have already digested most of the lactose in the yogurt.
