Thank you for your kind comments. There are several people now doing studies on bilingual stuttering. I have done some also. They are hard to do well -- so many complex factors all mixed together. You might be interested in reading : Roberts, P.M. & Shenker, R.C. Assessment and treatment of stuttering in bilingual speakers. In R.F. Curlee & E.G. Conture (eds). Stuttering and related disorders of fluency 3rd edition (pp. 183-209). New York: Thieme Medical Publishers. 2007. If you do a Google search, you will see other recent work by different people. There is a book coming out next year, edited by Peter Howell and John Van Borsel: Fluency Disorders and Language Diversity.
