I've never had a fish do it, but my turtle has what they call a prolapse, which is basically when the reproductive organs and the intestines come out. They are not really dangerous, more or less just annoying. Again that is with turtles, so I dont know if the same things go on in fish.

Hi FiShFrEaK_89 Welcome to Fish Lore

Sorry your puffer isn't feeling well, they are so cute.

When you say pooping it's guts, is it white and stringy? Red and stringy? It could be an internal parasite.

Could you post a pic?

That might help the others here help you.

Good luck.
