Actually, that's the way I deal with the current issue. I lift the flapper and let the bowl fill right up to the rim, then close it. The higher water level provides more head pressure to force the offending matter down the hole.

Somehow this Thread makes me feel right at home.

No surprise. You're the one who started it.

Try more oatmeal with/and/or raisins and.or grapes...if he likes any of that stuff...

Yogurt and bran muffins, and tell him to go when the urge first hits, not when it's unbearable to stand it any longer.

Yup.... Works 99% of the time. :)

I eat like a monster, I can't tell you the last time I needed to plunger a toilet.... Oh years ago when my then teenage daughter thought it was OK to flush some feminine hygiene products down.....one of the downfalls of being a single father with a psychotic ex, you miss some of the important lessons of life discussions!

Terrible idea. Because when it doesn't work, your plunger then overflows the toilet.

Never. But then solid stools are few and far between...
