If you are going to make categorical statements like Research shows that a leaky gut is a _prerequisite_ (but not only factor) for developing auto-immune disease, please provide a reference.
which I found linked from a nutritionist promoting AIP, only goes as far as
However, in several autoimmune conditions it appears that increased permeability is a constant and early feature of the disease process. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly apparent that in some conditions increased permeability is critical to the development of disease as if it is abrogated the disease does not develop.
Note all the equivocation in the science there.
Edit: Actually linking one might be difficult, but for such a categorical statement, you should be able to cite a recent textbook, not just a few articles.
For instance, this article:
