Your question is a tad confusing since you said you think it converts to morphine, but then were surprised it showed up that way. It does not convert to morphine and needs to be tested for specifically which most 5 panel tests do not check for.

Obviously clinics test for it specifically and morphine or other opiates would show up separately (which is kind of the point of a clinic setting anyway to make sure you are not abusing anything else). As Dee said talk to your doctor. There are some things that do cause false positives, but for me when I failed it was because I was taking something I shouldn't have been.
