This startwd a few weeks ago and it seems to have gotten a little worse. It "belches" 2 or 3 good times and this slows down the flushing in the bowl. I do have a septic system and was wondering if that could be part of the problem.

To check the septic system open up the cleanout and flush the toilet. If you have no back up the tank's OK.

It "belches" 2 or 3 good times If the septic tank's OK then you have a blockage downstream from the toilet. The solution would b be to auger the toilet, Good luck, Tom
