I doubt if it would be the banana if anything bananas would be really good for the health of your mouth (ever heard about eating a banana at the first sign of a mouth ulcer?). The white coating is dead skin cells and bacteria. I guess your diet is contributing to this... but what is on your tongue is not actually cheese... it's dead cells and bacteria.
ETA: have you been on anti-biotics or immune suppressant drugs lately?
A dental hygienist mentioned this in another forum: ...you're doing the right thing by brushing it daily (your dr. probably suggested that because he suspected poor oral hygiene).....otherwise, don't eat a lot of dairy products, if you are. The dairy could bring out the candida in your mouth, making the overgrowth worse.
