I'm reading now that casein is inflammatory. Are there any casein free dairy options?

Casein pro-inflammatory?

That's a tough one for myself to answer for sure, but I have always thought it is strictly dairy/milk based protein. I did a quick search just to confirm and I am not finding casein free dairy products (bovine).

I think goat products might be?
If I remember correctly goats milk products have casien but it's sufficiently different from that found in cows milk that some people find it easier to deal with.
Other issues with dairy like pasturization and grain-feeding are also pointed to as possible inflammation triggers. I don't know what's available in your part of the world but if I could find raw, grass-fed dairy from cows or especially goats I'd be much more inclined to include dairy in my diet more regularly.
