Instead of liquid - how about just a vegan diet - or a plant based diet so your eating LOTS of fiber and not having to increase that pressure? They also make stool softeners (not laxatives). Those might be easier/safer than a liquid diet for the nutritional demands of your healing brain.

This is why I am thinking of trying a liquid diet for a few weeks to see if that allows my brain enough time to heal to a point where I can safely go to the bathroom without causing a relapse.
I would be keen to hear more thoughts from anyone who has experienced something similar.
