Answers:

"Coating
The tongue coating is a physiological by-product of the Stomach digestion of food and fluids. In TCM, digestive function depends on Spleen transformation and transportation of food and the Stomach's (origin of fluids) fermenting and ripening the food. In the process, residue reaches the tongue. The moisture, wet or dry, on the tongue shows the state of the Body Fluids. The tongue coating colour shows the presence, absence and strength of a pathogenic factor.

White - cold pattern
Yellow - full heat
Grey/black - extreme heat and cold"

My daughter's tongue will develop a white coating if she eats too many bananas or dairy yoghourt.
