Could it be a partial blockage, I dunno, 50 feet down the line? That way
it kind of clears as the water slowly drains past it, but if you
use the toilet a couple of times and it backs up, then yeah, it'll
come all the way back to the toilet.




Yes, pretty much what I had. Over time it had some buildup at a pipe
joint that shifted and of course it grew. Maybe a stool softener will
buy more time.
