Were you actually taking 10.2g of psyllium or 10.2g of Metamucil? Cos the percentage of actual SFS in each SFS is different. One recommended dose of Metamucil contains 3.4g of psyllium.
Heather suggests you aim for 12-15g of actual SFS each day. That doesn't include all the mixers and other stuff that there are in most SFSs...so you'd need 6 or 7 doses of Citucel to get that much SFS!
But when you're swapping between SFSs, it is sensible to drop your dose for a little while to give your bod an easier time to adjust to the new type of SFS. So work that out depending on how much actual psyllium you were taking.
Btw, you do know that you need to drink alot of water with a SFS or it can give you C? And that you need to include IF in your diet as well?
ALSO, btw, the sugar free Citrucel contains Aspartame which is an artificial sweetener and therefore likely to be a trigger for you! SO you might want to switch to another!
