Theories that prove their own consistency

Hi,

I have an impression that certain first order theories where the
recursive definition of integer multiplication is weakened can prove
their own consistency, so the diagonalization doesn`t go trough but
the consistency predicate is formalizable. I would like to know more,
references/ explanations anybody?
