That does not sound good. White clear, stringy poo is a sign of a internal infection and the swimming back and forth is called the "shimmy". Here's a chart on signs of a distressed/sick fish and how to treat it: http/www.cichlidsrus.com/resources/diseases.php
In most cases of a distressed or sick fish i do an immediate 15% water change and see if they look a little bit more revived. If they do, then most likely there's too much waste(ammonia and nitrite) in your water and you should either reduce the amount of food you feed them or clean your tank more often.
I hope she recovers soon
