Porridge contains an ingredient called Beta Glucan which helps to bind to fat in the bowel and helps to excrete the fat from the body when you go to the toilet to open your bowels.
Some people can be intolerant to oats, so if you feel this might be you, choose organic gluten free oats.
Try adding soya, almond, rice, goats milk (unsweetened), a handful of blueberries, raspberries or figs, a sprinkle of mixed seeds or chia seeds and a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup, a dash of cinnamon.
