What Causes Chills After Bowel Movement?

Why is it that, when I have a sizable bowel movement, I feel chills after? The chills are not terrible, but they are there and they last a few minutes. I do not suffer from constipation or anything like that. I am a middle aged woman, who has ranged from healthy weight to about 15 pounds over....but I've noticed this all my adult life. Brrr!

One phase is the sympathetic phase, and the other is the parasympathetic phase.
