    Toilet bowl spitting out water!
    In my downstairs bathroom I heard a gurgling type sound and went to check it out and my toilet bowl was spitting out water. It happened about 4 times in 10 minutes. Water everywhere. Smells like sewer. I turned the water off to the toilet but it happened again. I turned the water back on and it hasn't happened since but the water level in the bowl is very low now. What's going on and what do I do?
