Appliance industry warns....

I can believe that. Our 1.6 gpf toilets do a great job of clearing the
bowl, but I always wonder about moving things down the line to the
street. I double flush often, not from need,, but for safety.

Lowes says a waste pipe should work fine if the slope is between 1/8 and
1/4 inch per foot.
If the slope isn't right, you can have a plumber fix it or use a
pressure-assisted toilet.
That still may not help. I had a low flow that wouldn't flush a #2 so
I bought a pressure assist. That makes it go away but sometimes it
does not make it all the way. I tell everyone to be sure to wash their
hands ;-)
I hope you drilled out the flow restrictor aerator,
so you have some water flow to assist the toilet?
Washing hands with soap and water is a good idea
after a bowel movement, helps reduce the spread of
disease. I met a mom one time who said someone gave
her a really good idea, to wipe her own hands with
a diaper wipe after changing a baby poopy. I mentioned
that hand washing with soap and warm water would be
better.
I'd not want to hold the kids, fix meals, and scratch
my own nose with poopy hands.
