Do you have a wet vac? Use that first (after turning off water to the toilet) to empty the toilet and whatever is loose in the pipe. Then use a 4-5 ft length of 1/2 inch PVC down the pipe. Actually, if you're adventurous you could use the pvc without emptying the toilet, but still turning off the water. That would let you know for sure if you knock something loose.
We do not have a wet vac but either way I don't see how we can stick pvc down a pipe that is not straight. There are bends in it.
The 1/2 inch pvc will bend. I've used it for exactly this purpose in the past.
