Sewer smell from toilet
 

There is an odor that is coming from the toilet.
This usually occurs first thing in the morning (after toilet hasnt been
flushed for several hours). Smell goes away after flushing, but will
come back the next day.

TIA for any help.

[we will presume you have nice smelling tap water.]
first change the $1 wax seal. examine the floor flange under the wax
and fix it if needed.
there are some modern non-wax seals available now.

Tried one of these; only to find it would not work. The box does not
mention that if you have a sharp turn just below the flange the device
will not work....back to the old wax ring.
