What else can I help you with?
Why would your bathroom shower begin to flood everytime you use your upstairs shower or sink?
The shower drain and waste lines on up to the other fixtures located above need to be clear so that water will flow. Just downhill of the shower drain there is probably a blockage in the waste pipe. The blockage could cause slow draining. If it is completely blocked, the shower pan will not drain back out over time. You will need to run a plumbers snake down the line below the shower drain. If the toilet in the same room as the shower when flushed also shows water coming into the shower drain, it will be best to take up the toilet off the base and run a plumbers snake from that point. Warning for very slow draining lines or lines that do not drain, DO NOT use Drain cleaning chemicals. Good luck and you may wish to call rotorooter.

Why does your shower leak once the toilet is flushed?
The drains for the shower, toilet and sink all connect to a common line.

You need plumbing repair. The shower leak you mention should only be in the shower, or else you have a broken drain line as well.

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.
