How do medications like Percocet get processed in the digestive tract of someone with a j-pouch, and could the fast transit time due to frequent bowel movements affect the duration of pain relief? Is there a better formulation or delivery method that could be more effective for my condition?

I have a question about drug testing. I am worried about a pre-employment drug test and a potential false positive. I have had 7 knee surgeries and a major hip reconstruction, and I have chronic pain. I don't take any prescribed painkillers or illegal drugs, but I do take Kratom occasionally. It is legal in my state. Will a 10-panel urine test detect Kratom, and how does it detect it if it is not illegal?
