You might consider giving your daughter a fiber supplement or some other form of stool softener.

wreckdiverIn the business, so I deal with this all the time. Typically the problem is what I call peanut butter poop, damn stuff is plunger proof I think. What I suggest is a good closet auger. Since I have three, I would gladly send you a Karma auger. If this sounds good to you, just send me an address in a email (in my profile)

I once had a tenant that kept complaining that their toilet would get clogged and couldn't plunge it......after snaking it three different times, on the 3rd time, a #2 pencil came out of the neck that her 4 year old must've flushed down it.
I see what you did there, Jimmy.

bendableInvoke an edict for that bathroom,
With a 22 point print sign .
No one flushs here
Until I am present.
No exceptions.
Then they will use the other toilet,
Either it will happen at the other toilet
or
It won't
If it happens at the other toilet,
Then it's the flushers.
If not
Then it's the toilet/plumbing.
Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

rexlesGet a General Closet Auger with a drop head, not a bulb head. It's bigger. Do not waste your money on a big box store auger. Most are not long enough to get clear through the toilet.

Thank you, but let me try the Beehive plunger that everyone recommends and see if I have any luck with that.

That's the thing, we already do. She eats a balanced diet, she likes fruits and vegetables, and she gets Miralax every day.

MagicHorseWith the whole TMI (too much information) issues, you seem to realize your daughter's poop is not quite normal compared to the adults in her life, have you considered talking to her doctor that there could be an issue with her digestion? I do not have children but maybe if there is someone you are close with that has a daughter her age, maybe ask them if it's ever been an issue with their kid.
While the toilet issue is frustrating I'd be more concerned of there being an actual medical issue with your daughter.

Good idea. You will then know if it is peanut butter poop.

HRKWe had one that wasn't flushing properly, had to remove the toilet and found the plastic hanger for one of the blue water things the wife was using,
Apparently it came off the side of the bowl and got flushed. Grabbed all the paper going through, after a bit the TP would dissolve and it would flush.
I would think if it's mechanical or pipe related then it would happen with everyone eventually.

NismoTell her to flush in the middle of business and after.

az4783054Toilet paper is not all the same. Use toilet paper that breaks down in water easily. Use less toilet paper, folded over not wadded up.

tarheelbballDish soap and bucket of hot water from tub. Search unclog toilet without plunger on YouTube

patwWe had/have the same problem. I just got a snake/auger and use it instead. It is much more effective than a plunger and easier to clean.

h2oysWe have an older Kohler in our first floor powder room and it too became easily clogged.
Other than those who use a "mitt" of TP, it would also clog with the "good" toilet paper. When we switched to the Sams Club TP that you buy in the box of I believe 40 rolls, it stopped clogging.
Try a box and see if that fixes your problem.

WarhorseI installed a Kohler Santa Rosa with the "Power Piston" cannister. It has a very good flush, never clogged it in three years.
