Reintroducing milk to an exclusively soy-fed baby

So my LO is turning 11 months next week and our doctor suggested we try reintroducing milk to his diet. He spent the first month of his newborn years screaming for reasons unknown (3 hour episodes at one point) and finally, at two months, his diapers were mucusy/slimy. The GI specialist diagnosed him with milk intolerance and put him on soy. Since then, he's had constipation issue, but otherwise been happy and jolly.

I'm considering adding a scoop of Similac Advance to his bottle, but am unsure if I should do this or just straight up cow's milk. Also, we got a can of Toddler Transitions from Enfamil and a friend gave us half a can of similac sensitive.
So far, we've given him Mac and Cheese Gerber, yogurt drops and cheese puffs and no issues so far.

    I was gonna suggest added milk products like cheese and yogurt more often and seeing what that does.

    My pediatrician is having us wait till Charlotte is 1 to try dairy, but she said we would start with a tbsp of yogurt and then wait and see. Charlotte breaks out in terrible eczema when she has dairy. So if she reacts to the yogurt then we'll wait till she's 18 months. If she's okay with the tiny bit of yogurt then we'll give her few more tbsp. It takes her about 3 hrs to break out so we'll probably wait that long before giving her more. I'm going to talk to my ped about it more before we do it.

    He has been having mac and cheese purees the last two days and so far, daycare has noticed anything unusual. He's more bratty and crying more, but this is just him being a brat and not getting his way
