Carbs in Natural Yoghurt

I'm lucky that my body tolerates dairy, and 1/2 to 1 cup of yoghurt has always been a favourite breakfast choice. I like to think that the probiotics make a difference as well. When I have time, it's homemade yoghurt, when life gets in the way, it's nothing added, full fat.
These days my body doesn't deal well with lots of carbs, though, and I try to keep under 75g a day, which pushes my cup of natural yoghurt into an occasional treat that needs planning around.
I came across this article - http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/yogurtcarbs.htm - which suggests that the grams of carbs in a fermented dairy product are likely to be considerably lower than what is listed due to the bacteria turning the lactose into lactic acid. I've found the same argument mentioned in a few other low carb places, but I can't find the original study.
Does anyone have more information on this? It sounds logical, and very promising, but I'm nervous about experimenting with my body based on an internet article without footnotes...

Have you tried the PubMed site? They have a decent search box that could hopefully help you find the original study. It's a fantastic site that I don't dare visit or my family lose me for a week or more

Also google scholar. Or if you have a Junior College near you, go in to the library and search from the computers there, lots of good databases.0

I did a quick pubmed search. Didn't find what you were looking for, but did find this interesting yogurt study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25266206
These data suggest that, when compared to high-fat snacks, eating less energy dense, high-protein snacks like yogurt improves appetite control, satiety, and reduces subsequent food intake in healthy women.0
