Hi
White coated tongue is due to many reasons like Infection with Candida,Antibiotcs,steroids(used in inhaler for asthma) etc.
It can also be caused by dehydration.So,please drink more water.
It can also be due to Alchohol ad smoking.Quit them if you are taking
You have to consult your doctor and exclude Oral lichen planus.
Douching cannot cause this white coated tongue.
There is no need to clean your anal passage with Douche.It is not recommended.
Wish you good health
