Arrow I would love some help understanding my results?

I was wondering if anyone can make sense of my genetic testings. My GP is wonderful, amazing and I adore her - but even her knowledge in the area is slightly limited.

Here it is:

"Heterozygous for the DRB1*07-DQA1*02-DQB1*02 haplotype which is consistent with the DQ2 phenotype"

My blood tests are (although I had already been on the gluten free diet for 1.5 weeks at the time of the test):

Gliadin IgA Abs: 2 (Normal Range 0 - 20)
tTG IgA/IgG: 2 (Normal Range 0 - 20)

I understand that I have?? the DQ2 gene, but does this actually mean anything? The celiac blood test came back negative. Am I gluten sensitive? Is there any way to know?

My possible symptoms are migraine variant (prolonged aura 'derealization' without infraction), super super low magnesium, low iron (although I have never been a big meat eater) and low B12 .. generally vitamins are ok now due to supplements. Always very sleepy and tired.

Thanks so much.
