Hey Lisa,
You have a blockage downstream from the downstairs toilet.
The solution would be to rent a sewer machine and snake the drain line.
This can be done a number of ways.
1) Pull the toilet and snake from there.
2)Snake from the roof vent that services the downstairs toilet.
3) If there's a stack with a cleanout you can snake from that.
Good luck, Tom
