What might cause this condition?
How is water level inside your holding tank? Too much water in the holding tank may cause this problem.

Most of the time, a vent problem. If the toilet gurgles up a storm on flushing and ends up low it's almost certainly a vent problem. In the rare case that things flush fine and fill normally, but end up low later the possibilities are a crack in the toilet, or some gunk buildup that's acting like a wick to drain the siphon.
An often overlooked cause is the tank ballcock refill tube.
It's a 1/4" tube from the fill valve into the flush valve overflow standpipe. As the tank is refilling, the tube runs a jet of water into the overflow to refill the bowl.
