It would be wonderful if leaky gut *is*

I agree-- it would be wonderful :-) if leaky gut *is* at the heart of all these problems you mention, and if it's really as easy to 'cure' as some say!

and from what I've just read on colostrum's effects it might be the missing piece that all the alkalizing in the world won't touch. hmmm. I suppose, even as a vegan, I might consider taking colostrum, if I knew it was not going to have to be a continuous thing...taking and taking and taking it.

I'd never considered leaky gut as applied to my own situation, but it might explain
some persistent complaints.
