Coated tongue without fasting

People mention getting a coated tongue while fasting as a sign of detox. I have had a coated tongue for as long as I can remember (which doesn't say much). I have been improving my diet for the past couple years though. Could I have been detoxing this whole time. Perhaps if I fast I will get a pink tongue again; that would be nice.

Has anyone else had the coated tongue without a fast? I had a naturopath tell me it was candida from all the fruit I eat! Please! Tweet
