For those who stutter or helped a person who stuttered, does diet affect stuttering?

So, I stutter like have a speech impediment. I've had it my whole life and want it gone since I am trying to get a full-time job soon and not many jobs will hire me if my speech isn't fluent or as close to fluent as possible.

I saw somewhere that what could affect stuttering negatively are preservatives, salicylates, amines, dairy foods, and wheat. Is that true? Also if anyone tried to avoid those ingredients did it change much for the stuttering? Last question, was it difficult to avoid these ingredients?

It’s not what you eat that causes stutter. I have gone to speech therapy for almost 7 years to properly speak English. And to this day, people still think I’m from a different country cause of my accent.

Ahh ok, yeah i was wondering about food because sometimes when i have sugary foods or drinks, my stuttering increases but wasn't sure if that is why. But I'll still try it out though to see if it is different for about a week. I don't think people assume I am from a different country with my stuttering, they just think i have really bad anxiety. Which i don't, I have a speech impediment that fluctuates from one day is really good like a few times to really bad to almost every sentence is a stutter. Some co-workers have suggested weed but I won't smoke anything, nothing against anyone who does, just me. But I'll try the diet thing tho
