Not sure what you mean by stomach "chills", but if there is rapid, audible passage of fluids through your intestinal tract which causes you to have to run to the bathroom, it can be considered diarrhea. If this happens intermittently, you should be evaluated for irritable bowel syndrome.

Sounds as though you’re having colonic spasms which resulting in stool urgency. It may mean that you have irritable bowel syndrome, if the symptoms have been long-term. More information is needed. You may try increasing fiber in your diet, consider a fiber supplement such as Metamucil, and drink plenty of fluids and exercise. if this does not help, see your doctor or a gastroenterologist.
