The cookbook was titled "Kidney Friendly Comfort Foods". It was given to him by his diatician at his dialysis center. It had a lot of info in the front of it for how to reduce sodium, potassium, etc. You can get a free copy of it here:

Also, when dealing with the CKF diet, fluids are an issue. Kidney patients are on a fluid restricted diet. Also, they can drink soda's, but they can not have dark cola's. When doing sodas, use fruit flavored sodas, sprite, 7-up, gingerale, etc. As I recall, he could drink Rootbeer, but only did that rarely. Kool-Aid is acceptable for kidney patients.
Another dessert option is a rice pudding. That would actually have less fluid in it than the gelatin dessert. And rice is allowed on both the CKF diet and the Celiac diet.
I don't remember us making a special BBQ sauce for him. He would use regular BBQ sauce, but use it as a dip. You can check various brands to see which ones are lowest in sodium.
You can find recipes for the CKF diet here:

You can find recipes for Celiac (Gluten Free) here:

All Recipes would probably have more recipes, especially gluten free ones. My youngest son has taken over my computer, so I haven't had a chance to look through my recipes. I'm having to use his homeschool computer to do anything online. LOL. He's in my room and I'm in his.
