childless in tn Says:
While I was pregnant I was prescribed to take ranitidine for heartburn. After my child was born I took a urine test that came up negative. Cps sent these sample off and said I tested positive for meth. I submitted to a hair test on my child and a nail test on myself. The results were positive for meth. The Metabolites were very low in both of us but the amphetimine levels were high, but I had ephedrine during the c section. Will ranitidine cause a false positive in a hair test and where is the documented proof? They have taken my newborn away from me its five days now without touching or seeing her. I am desperate to get my baby back. If a doctor responds please be willing to submit documentation in writing. Thank you to anyone with the answer.

I haven't met one doctor who wants to say its the cause, just that it could happen but they don't say a yes or no.
I passed my hair strand test, and I find it hard to fail that if you're not on drugs.
That being said, please read the links I posted they are Uni studies about urine tests and blood and this subject.
If you are innocent I hope it gets proven.
Either way, if CPS is in your life its better to just co operating because unfortunately they have too much power. Innocent or not.. Good luck

I just saw your story, I will pray for you and your baby tonight, this is a terrible situation. Do you have legal representation? Can't your doctor help? Have you asked them to retest you when you have stopped taking the ranitidine? Best wishes and good luck to you and your family

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry :(
After 2 drug tests that came back negative and my hair strand test came back completely negative the DYP dropped everything and let us go home.
Have they done a hair strand test?
My heart goes out to you and your fam. Please email me. {edited for privacy}

It is eight months now. Still do not have my daughter. I am writing the governor today. I am going public also. I have three scientific studies that say zantac will cause a false positive. I have done their classes and passed all their drug screens. Now they are trying to bring criminal charges against me. The nightmare continues. Pray for us. I miss my little girl so much.

Hey, this is happening to me as well. I had my daughter taken away from me by the DYP/CPS @ 2 days old.
I was taking ranitidine as well and tested positive for meth. Which I have never used. I had to submit
My hair sample, and we are waiting for results. We have our daughter back, but under my boyfriends custody, and we have to live at his parents house, and do random drug tests (which we've passed, cause were not users or addicts)
I cannot find a doctor, nurse, lab tech or
Pharmacist who is even willing to say that this is possible.
Please contact me so we can communicate. I hope everything got sorted out for you. This is a nightmare, and until this I thought I was the only one.

Thank you mam for responding. You have been the only one. Since this post I have been found to be a mother of severe child abuse and neglect. It's now been four months. What doctor gave you this documentation? I will go to the ends of the earth to obtain it. My baby tested positive for marijuania but I did not. The whole ordeal has been a nightmare. Pray for my family and give me the Dr s name and I will contact him. Again thank you for responding. God is working.

This is terrible!!! And yes zantac does give a false positive for Meth.... Google it and there is documentation. I take zantac and had a drug test through my job and it came back positive for Meth. MY DOCTER gave me documentation to prove I wasn't on this terrible drug (Meth) along with some ducuments I printed from Google I was able to keep my job!
