I eat healthy and get lots of fiber in my diet. I clog the toilet just about every day. It is embarrassing for me but I don't want to give up my healthy diet.

I have been to several different doctors and I pass all the health tests with flying colors.

I am looking for a toilet that can handle large amounts of (soft) solid waste without clogging. Note: I have already tried the Toto Drake II toilet and American Standard Cadet toilet. No suppliers near me sell the Caroma.

Any pressure assist from major mfr will do the trick. That's what we use commercially where we don't want to ever get a call-back for clogs.
In non- PA, the American Standard Champion will also do the job. At demo days, they flush 13 golf balls in one flush. So that is as good as most needs would arise.
ADA/ AKA 'right-height' on any is what I recommend.

If the Drake II or Cadet is already installed, consider increasing the gallons of the flush. Try holding the lever down longer to prevent the flapper or tower from closing at the regular time.

If that does it for you, and it has a tower, see toto tower adjustment https://terrylove.com/forums/index....d-i-have-to-hold-the-flush-lever.56174/page-2

If it has a flapper, consider an adjustable flapper.

If holding that handle down does not do it, that pressure assist sounds like the cool tool.

I had heard good things about Toto toilets but I guess my situation is just too much for a Toto. Unfortunately I have already tried holding down the lever and I have tried adjusting the flapper. Not to be gross but I also have tried flushing part way through a bathroom visit but the trapway partially clogs. The toilet then gets completely clogged once I do the second flush.

I have been considering the American Standard Champion. It should hopefully solve my problem. I did notice it has a wider trapway and 4 inch flush valve compared to the Toto and Cadet. I have seen some mixed reviews about the quality of the Champion (cracking, leaks, etc) which is why I bought the Toto and Cadet.

Good news. I found a used Caroma toilet on Facebook Marketplace. I installed it on Thursday.

I found a Caroma Sydney toilet on Facebook Marketplace. I installed it last Thursday. I have had no clogs for a week now.
