Trap seal loss occurs when you have poor venting and as one fixture drains it creates negative pressure created and it pulls the trap seal (water) from another trap and allows sewer gases to enter the structure

How do you stop the kitchen water from draining into the bathtub?

You apparently have a creative drain system in your house. Your kitchen sink and your bath tub drains are tied together on the same branch flowing to your main line. I am assuming the toilets are not bubbling or overflowing when the kitchen sink drains. If they are, your main sewer line is clogged. If not, you need to have someone (preferably a plumber) run a cable or snake, as some people call it, through the kitchen sink drain.
