Can Grape Fruit Be Taken While On Uceris?

Yes, I forgot I am not supposed to have grapefruit while I am on Uceris. I just had a fruit cup which contained grapefruit. I placed a call to the pharmacist who advised I call my doctor. I have not heard back yet. Are there things I should do to neutralize the impact of the grapefruit? What can I expect to happen? \
