Are there cases where gairaigo used in every day speech (`パン`, `アイスクリーム`,
etc...) have been ousted by native Japanese words?

外来語 (gairaigo) replaced by Japanese word?
Not all of them have one, but looks like "アイスクリーム" have this "氷菓子", but not
commonly used, so answer is No. They havn't ousted by native Japanese words.

I can't think of any cases where this is the case. However, there is a current
trend, particularly in business, to use _waseigo_ or _gairaigo_ to appear more
"educated". So going forward, one could assume that there are going to be more
words replaced by their _waseigo_ or _gairaigo_ equivalent.

There are cases where there is a _gairaigo_ , but the Chinese word is what is
used in Japanese, like "baseball". Though I'm not sure what the timeline is
for 「ベースボール」 being replaced by 「野球」.

During world war two, there was [some movement to limit the use of foreign
words](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1147223331)
(since they belonged to the enemy) - this can be compared to the ["Freedom
Fries"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries) in the US. For example
(from the above-linked chiebukuro answer):

  * サイダー → [噴]{ふん}[出]{しゅっ}[水]{すい} 
  * カレーライス → [辛]{から}[味]{み}[入]{い}り[汁]{しる}[掛]{か}け[飯]{めし}

However, just like the "freedom fries" in the US, it never really caught on,
and even the soldiers in the front lines kept on using katakana gairaigo in
their everyday conversation.

Maybe worth pointing out that before western loanwords became popular and
"trendy," the fad for over a thousand years was Chinese or faux-Chinese
loanwords like "電話." Though they may seem more Japanese than katakana words,
they're based on old Chinese borrowings (i.e. on-yomi, or the approximated
Chinese pronunciations for kanji characters) and not really purely "native."
