    ETG testing and Incidental exposure
    I'm in a monitoring program facilitated by Quest Diagnostics. I consumed less than a tablespoon combined of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce the day of an ETG test. I am a female, weigh 215 lbs, and have been sober for over 4 months. I didn't drink much water throughout the day because I've had low creatinine results a few times. Do I have a chance of failing this test? Thank you

    Highly unlikely that those two things are going to cause a spike in your ETG level and create a positive on a test. Mouthwash and other things of those nature are more likely to cause a positive.

    I hope you're right! I'm usually so careful about what I eat and drink, had clinicals that day, tired, just wasn't thinking. I'll post my results when I get them
