Has your doc done a look up of the medication in a Hale's book? Sometimes docs will tell mamas that meds are unsafe when in fact they can be compatible with breastfeeding.

Protonix is listed in Hales as an L2--which means that it is "safer." Here's what Hales says about L2 drugs-- "Drug which has been studied in a limited number of breastfeeding women without an increase in adverse effects in the infant. And, the evidence of a demonstrated risk which is likely to follow use of this medication in a breastfeeding woman is remote."
So, you're good to keep nursing!

Edited to add: it is also listed as a pregnancy category B, which is the "safer" designation for pregnancy.

As an L2 I would keep nursing without a doubt.

I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Secondly, I would also definately keep nursing on an L2 drug (and have, with a child who nursed much more than that). Do you still have concerns after seeing the rating?
Good luck.
