Poppy Seed Bagel Causes Maryland Woman To Test Positive For Opiates While Giving Birth
TOWSON, Md. (AP) — A Maryland woman has learned that eating a poppy seed bagel before giving birth has consequences.
Elizabeth Eden was in labor in April when a doctor told her she had tested positive for opiates and she had been reported to the state.
Eden had learned in a health class that eating poppy seeds could cause a false positive, and her test meant her daughter had to stay in the hospital for five days.
