Why would kitchen sink water back up into the dishwasher after you use the garbage disposal?

Check and see if the water line going from the dishwasher to the disposal has enough slack to run up and over the connection to the disposal.If its just running along the cabinet floor and straight up into the disposal that's the problem.Its called an anti siphon loop

does the outlet for the dishwasher have to be on the same side of the garbage disposal drainage outlet?
Yes the outlet for the dishwasher should be on the same side as the disposal,so the disposal can handle the waste water from the dishwasher.
Can you run the dishwasher if the garbage disposal is not connected?
The disposal has to be in place so that the drain on the dishwasher is connected. If you do not have a disposal or are removing it, there is a extension tube for the drain that has the dishwasher tube in it. The disposal does not have to work for the dishwasher to drain. The water is run through the disposal so that any food particles get ground before going in the drain. After a while, the disposal will begin to smell if it is not run.
How can you fix a dishwasher that has garbage disposal water in it?
Check the air vent tube under sink make sure it is connected properly or water will back up into dishwasher
When large amount of water is poured into the sink with the garbage disposal where the dishwasher drains would a one way valve help with water backing up into the dishwasher?
The pump in the dishwasher should keep the water from getting into it.
Can you eliminate the air vent on top of sink for a dishwasher?
Yes, the air vent (air gap) is very much required!! It prevents water from traveling from the sink drain pipe or garbage disposal and into the dishwasher.
Are you supposed to run water while using the garbage disposal?
Yes if you do not you could break your garbage disposal.
The water from the air gap flows onto the counter and over the side is there a gadget that guides all of the water into the sink?
If the tubing between dish washer and garbage disposal unit is newly installed then someone forgot to remove a plug. If it was working before then the flow from dishwasher to the garbage disposal is too slow resulting in this.
How can you get water to flow down your garbage disposal?
turn it on
