How do you fix a plumbing problem that causes the drainage waste from the kitchen sink to flow out of the drain in your shower?

It would be my suggestion that you need to have the sewer "snaked" out as there is an apparent obstruction in the run from the bath area to your septic tank or sewer line and the the kitchen is "up-stream" from that bathroom, or, perhaps the shower is on the back side of your kitchen waste and the obstruction is associated with the showers drain and waste run...i.e., a hair clog, etc, is building up and combining with the waste material from the kitchen. Perhaps there is a clean-out plug under the kitchen sink which you can run a small "snake" through.
