by the sounds of this issue your toilet may be pulling the trap from your other sanitary ware in the bathroom. this could be resolved by checking if your 4" stack goes up to an air admittance valve, this could need replacing or you could fit anti-vac traps to the basin and bath and see if this helps.

agree with previous answer, short term - look at having waterless traps installed onto your bath and basin HEP20 make them, this will stop the water being siphoned from the traps when the toilet is flushed. long term - have the wastes altered and expose the soil stack to fit a durgo.
