Ok, you didn't ask this, but I'm going to mention it anyway, FWIW. I have crohn's/IBS & can't tolerate NSAIDs either. As little as 2 aspirin or 1 ibuprofen will cause bleeding, though not so bad as yours requiring pred.
I've found I can tolerate meloxicam, a prescrip NSAID, on occasion. My doc recommended it as it's much gentler on the system than most others in that class.
I just can't see someone going through a course of pred over a migraine (and I get those several times a month).
