Phuzzy,
Ice cream can be a big comfort food, I know... I seem to tolerate the lowfat and fat-free, if I eat small portions (makes me feel better about having to avoid cheese... sort of).
That's weird about the peppermint... even the old wives' tales say that peppermint is a tummy soother, so I don't know what to make of your reaction to it. (I'm not a doctor, of course.) Have you had the "poke tests" done by an allergist to see if you are allergic to any particular foods and plants?
It seems logical that if you feel stress is aggravating your IBS, that reducing your stress is going to be a major step toward feeling better. Mentioned on this site are things like hypnosis, yoga, meditation, exercise... do you have such a means available to you for releasing stress? Even just taking a walk can be helpful, weather permitting, or doing some gentle exercise/stretching in the comfort of your home.
Wishing you all the best.
