    I heard that it has something to do with your blood rushing to your stomach to digest your food. Not sure though.

    I was told once that when you eat or right after eating your circulation shifts to your stomach and digestion process. That shift makes your circulation decrease in your extremities (arms and legs) which leads to you being more cold. I dont know how accurate this is.... but thats what Ive experienced also when eating...

    It happens for me right after I eat, I always thought it was because you are digesting.

    I recently read that people who get cold after/during eating may have a thyroid problem. You may want to consider that and ask your doctor.

    that could be it because i just had labs done and my thyroid was a little low, but she just wants to check it in 4 months so that could be it. thank you

    I don't... but that's because I put hot sauce on almost all of my food. =P

    I'm the opposite- I get warm when I eat. Like warm enough that I'm stripping off layers!

    Nine times out of ten I do get cold and shiver after eating... you are not alone :)

    I'll edit to add that mainly goes for larger meals, not the little ones throughout the day.

    I warm up after I eat. I would say that I'm going through menopause & that's the reason, but I have always been like this...I thought that I get warm because my body is burning the food & it warms me up (always made sense to me) ... reading the other explanations though, gave me pause ... the thyroid explanation makes the most sense & would explain why I feel warm & you feel cold.
