Guppy pooing out clear white stringy stuff

Clear stringy poo is not good as you know. Tell us all about your tank: size? water parameters? Tankmates? How long have you had this guppy? Other new fish? How often & how much water do you change water? Foods?
I'm hesitant to think meds are the answer without more info. Clear poo can be a sign of hexaminta, parasites, protozoans, or just a food issue. Is this a 1 off poo or a regular issue?

It's a 100L tank, parameters are all fine, in my tank I have guppies, pair of sword tails, pair of mollies, albino catfish and a bristlenose pleco,
I did have a kribensis but he was way too aggressive (kept attacking the guppies) so I had to take him back, would this stress have caused this? this guppy is one of my newer ones (few week old). I do weekly water changes of 30%. I feed them flake food. It's just this one particular guppy I have seen this on, noticed it a couple of days ago.

Not sure what "fine" means for water parameters, but the fact you do weekly water changes is good.
If you're concerned about this single guppy, I'd pull it and quarantine it.

Can you post a new/better picture from this one it seems to me that this guppy has a bent spine and is fairly thin meaning she is old and treating won't do anything. She doesn't have intestinal worms it's probably Hexamita/Spironucleus taking over because of age/weakness.
