Do you know where it is coming from, I am having the sam problem... I am trying to help you

Hey I don't know if this could help but if you pour some bleach down the drains and let it sit over night then in the morning pour a couple of pots of boling water down the drain in the morning it should break up the blockage in the drain...

Have you checked around the base of the toilet?

Both houses I have lived in had this problem, and both times it turned out to be an improperly seated toilet wax ring. Those old toilets they had bolted down the floor as oppsed to the standing closet bolts that you attach a nut to.

I pulled the toilet and replaced the wax ring and added a new flange so I could use the standing closet bolts.

Of course, don't pull the toilet unless you suspect the odor is indeed coming from the base of the toilet.

Its probably a dead mouse, look for their poop. Do you see many flies? Have you left out poison for mice? Sometimes mice or rats can eat poison then die in someone else's home. Just a thought.

I am having this same problem. Did you ever get that problem fixed. Please let me know. I have replaced my toilet and I am still having that problem.

Maybe the traps are empty?

Do you have a floor drain ?
