Remove the toilet, pull the old wax ring and check to see that the flange which holds the toilet bolts is not broken. Install a new wax ring and reset the toilet. Don't over-tighten the nuts. Add more fiber to your diet.

In addition, there are plastic wedges to stabalize the toilet if it does not sit securely on the floor. TB
