I'm looking for a way to identify a specific amount of feedback items I'm visualizing in a list.
The construction of the sentence needs to be generic, so I can't use something like Feedback received 14 times. What I'm actually looking for is something in a similar form to Showing 14 received feedbacks. The problem here is that feedback appears to be an uncountable noun, so it would be incorrect to pluralise it into feedbacks. A similar idea would be Showing 14 feedback points, but this compound might not be simple or flexible enough.
Is there a succint way to express feedback in plural?

Feedback, as you acknowledge, is not a countable noun. Therefore, to indicate plurality it is necessary to attach it to something that does have a plural form.
I do see some indications online (blogposts and the like) that feedback may be considered by some to be a countable noun now and that a plural form, feedbacks, may be used. However, it seems awkward to my eye and ear--no doubt due to unfamiliarity.
