Cheese can certainly cause diarrhea, along with stress if he was just adopted. I would stop all extra snacks and offer him a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice to help settle his stomach, and then slowly introduce his regular food back in without any extras or treats until he is settled. If the diarrhea continues, or he shows any other signs of illness, a vet visit is best to rule out any health issues.
