I know if you eat poppy seeds, it can show up as heroine or something. I saw it on Mythbusters.
No drug testing for the FAA medical, but companies will often (or are required to) conduct them. Drink before you go (officially the medical requires a urine sample), and bring your checkbook. You will have to fill out a form that covers your past medical history.
If you have had any significant health issues (hospitalization) you might also bring some documentation of those events (but don't offer it up unless asked to).
Here's a link to the current standards you must meet for a physical:

PS: Poppy seeds will give false positive results for opiates.
