Explanation
"By" does not describe the interaction the way "with" does."With" correctly describes how the subject and object in the sentence interact; as if the head is being filled or covered with these things."For" can not be used. "Stuff in" means to meddle, in this case the speaker wants to forbid the person from consuming things they do not understand so it can't be used."With" is the correct preposition to describe something being filled or covered.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
