We have a downstairs toilet that gurgles whenever someone takes a bubble
bath in the upstairs bath tub, and drains the water. Once it started
filling up with soapy water.

I wonder what's causing this. Is there so much air in the bubbles that
it gets past whatever prevents backflow?

It's a Toto Drake toilet.

Probably the bubble stuff making big bubbles in the drain pipe and perhaps
blocking the vent pipe.
