Why would a first floor toilet gurgle when a second floor toilet is flushed?

The water in the lower toilet is probably being siphoned out of the tank by the negative pressure caused by flushing the upper toilet. This CAN happen if the water level in the tank of the lower toilet is over the top of the ballcock. If this is the case, the tank water is being siphoned into your drinking water! Replace the ballcock with a Fluidmaster right away. If you have a small white fill valve that sits in the bottom of the tank, get rid of it. These are illegal and WILL siphon under these conditions. If the lower toilet runs AFTER the fill cycle of the upper toilet, it may be that the ballcock seals at a lower pressure, and the pressure spike when the upper toilet shuts off causes it to run a bit until the added water closes the valve a little tighter.

Check the vent stack for debris, bird nest, critters, etc.

How do you get water out of a toilet before removing it?
I will usually pick the toilet straight up and set it in the tub if there is one. Put a towel in first to protect the tub finish and then tip it front to back several times to cause the water to come out. You can set the toilet into a pan big enough to hold the bottom and then carry it outside or rock in in the pan. There is only about a gallon at most in the base of the toilet after you have flushed it.
